President Paul Kagame on Tuesday, August 22, reshuffled the cabinet, introducing significant adjustments that encompassed the redeployment of Dr. Valentine Uwamariya to the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion. She has been serving as the Minister of Education for the past three years.

Minister Uwamariya takes over her new role from Prof. Jeannette Bayisenge, who has been designated as the Minister of Public Service and Labour (MIFOTRA), replacing Fanfan Rwanyindo.

In this reshuffle, Gaspard Twagirayezu assumes the position of Minister of Education. Prior to this appointment, he fulfilled the role of State Minister in charge of Primary and Secondary Education.

Furthermore, as part of these adjustments, Claudette Irere steps into the role of the new Minister of State for Education. She previously held the position of State Minister in charge of ICT & TVET within the same ministry since 2020.

In light of these changes, Maj. Gen. Albert Murasira has been designated as the Minister of Emergency Management, taking over from Solange Kayisire. Murasira brings with him prior experience, having previously held the position of Minister of Defence.

Concurrently, Sandrine Umutoni, previously the Director General of the Imbuto Foundation, has been appointed as the Minister of State for Youth.

In another capacity, Claudine Uwera has been appointed as the new Minister of State for Environment, while Jeanine Munyeshuli will take on the position of Minister of State for Public Investment and Resource Mobilization at the Ministry of Economic Planning and Finance.

The recent adjustments also involve the appointment of Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Charles Rudakubana as the proposed Ambassador to Angola, and Margaret Nyagahura as the proposed Ambassador to Hungary.
