Republic of Congo Unveils New Government
(MENAFN) The Republic of the Congo's presidency formally unveiled its newly constituted government Friday evening, broadcasting the full ministerial lineup via national television following President Denis Sassou Nguesso's sweeping electoral victory last month.
The reshuffled cabinet, assembled under reappointed Prime Minister Anatole Collinet Makosso, consists of 42 members in total — one deputy prime minister, three ministers of state, and 37 ministers.
Veteran official Jean-Jacques Bouya, who previously served as minister of state for territorial planning and major works, secured one of the government's most prominent new roles, taking up the position of deputy prime minister in charge of infrastructure development and territorial planning.
Among the ministerial reassignments, Pierre Oba, formerly minister of state for mines and geology, was elevated to minister of state at the presidency, overseeing political affairs. Claude Alphonse Nsilou, who previously headed trade, supply and consumption, transitions to the construction, urban planning and housing portfolio. Meanwhile, Pierre Mabiala, once responsible for land affairs and state property management, assumes charge of civil service, labor and social dialogue.
The cabinet formation follows Sassou Nguesso's commanding re-election on March 15, in which he captured 94.9 percent of the vote. Under the country's constitution, a presidential victory mandates the appointment of a fresh prime minister to helm a new administration.
The process moved swiftly — Makosso and his outgoing cabinet tendered their resignation on April 17, which the president accepted. Six days later, on April 23, the presidency confirmed Makosso's reappointment and directed him to assemble the new government.
