Kasaï-Central: Governor Joseph-Moïse Kambulu Reshuffles Provincial Government

In the heart of Kasaï-Central, Governor Joseph-Moïse Kambulu has initiated a significant reshuffling of his provincial government, ushering in a new team of ten members, notably including a woman, signaling a commitment to broader representation.

This cabinet reshuffling sees three new faces stepping into key ministerial roles. Fiston Tshiela Kalala is now at the helm of the Ministry of Transport, Communication, and Enclavement, tasked with improving connectivity. Honoré Jukayi Wamfuananganayi Kalamba takes charge of the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Entrepreneurship, and Tourism, aiming to foster development in these vital sectors. Kamay Kasonga assumes the critical portfolio of Interior, Customary Affairs, Justice, and Human Rights, alongside Relations with the Provincial Assembly, a position demanding a delicate balance of authority and community engagement.

While new talent is introduced, several experienced hands remain to ensure continuity. Pierrot Mutela Mukendi retains his crucial roles in Planning, Budget, Civil Service, Communication, and Media, also serving as the government's spokesperson. Crispin Kenkenyi Mawanga continues to steer the economy as Minister of Finance, Economy, Commerce, SMEs, and Industry. Toto Kabuayi Kabongo remains responsible for Agriculture, Fisheries, Livestock, Environment, and Rural Development. Honoré Mutshipayi Balowe inherits the social sector, encompassing Education, Public Health, Vocational Training, Hygiene, and Social Welfare. Antoine Ntambue Ntambue is reappointed to Mines and Hydrocarbons, and Bampende Banakayi Marie keeps her portfolio for Social Affairs and Humanitarian Actions. Jacques Shikayi Shikayi will oversee Infrastructure, Public Works, Land Affairs, Spatial Planning, Urbanism, and Housing, addressing the province's development needs.
