    Q4.

    Andre Kasongo Ilunga (born 20 October 1972) is the Vice-Presidentof the UNAFEC party and Minister for Foreign Trade of theDemocratic Republic of the Congo.

    Under government rules, a party must provide a shortlist of at leasttwo candidates for any ministerial role, with the Prime Minister

    making the final choice from the list. The only two candidates putforward for the Foreign Trade post were Kasongo Ilunga andKisimba Ngoy. Kisimba had been a vocal supporter of Mobutu SeseSeko, someone who Antoine Gizenga had once strongly opposed,likely causing him to choose the unknown Ilunga over Kisimba.

    The enigmatic 36-year-old failed to appear at the opening of the

    new government, and he hasnt claimed his office. Some say thatthe invisible bureaucrat has resigned, but the prime minister insiststhat he must do so in person. Question is, why did he decline toclaim his office?
