With a strong focus on modernization of public finance and civil service, she is poised to contribute significantly to the government’s agenda.
As DR Congo continues its journey towards growth and prosperity, the appointment of Judith Suminwa Tuluka signifies a step towards inclusivity and empowerment, emphasizing the importance of women in key governmental positions.
