Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila on Friday lampooned his successor Felix Tshisekedi’s high handedness he thinks drove the Senate to strike his immunity from prosecution.

The Congolese Senate had on Thursday lifted the immunities covering Kabila, making him liable for prosecution for fuelling the M23 rebels.
