In the 1970s Lutula moved to Kisangani (formerly Stanleyville), but in the late 1980s he returned to Kinshasa (formerly Léopoldville). He died at 20:00 on 17 March 2008 at the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital in Kinshasa following cardiac issues.

He was appointed by Prime Minister Lumumba to serve as Minister of Agriculture in his government of the newly independent Republic of the Congo. Lutula and Lumumba were its only members to come from Sankuru. The government was officially invested by Parliament on 24 June 1960. He was dismissed by President Joseph Kasa-Vubu on 12 September. After Lumumba was killed in Katanga in early February 1961, he accompanied Lumumba's widow, Pauline Opango, as she led a demonstration to the United Nations office in Léopoldville to ask for assistance in recovering his body. Following the execution of numerous Lumumba supporters in Bakwanga over the course of the month, Lutula fled Léopoldville and joined Antoine Gizenga's government in Stanleyville as Minister of Agriculture. After a national political reconciliation in August, Lutula resumed his position in the central government under Prime Minister Cyrille Adoula. On 17 April 1963 Adoula reshuffled his cabinet and made him Minister of Middle Classes and Community Development. He resigned in September.
