Jeanine Munyeshuli has been dismissed from her position as the Minister of State for Public Investment and Resource Mobilization in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), barely a year after assuming office.

Prime Minister Édouard Ngirente announced President Paul Kagame’s decision to drop Munyeshuli from the Cabinet on Monday evening, citing Article 116 of the Rwandan Constitution regarding the appointment of Cabinet members.

"Pursuant to the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda, especially in its Article 116, today, 3 June 2024, Ms. Jeanine Munyeshuli has been dismissed from her position as Minister of State for Public Investment and Resource Mobilization in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN)," Ngirente announced.

However, the Prime Minister did not disclose the reason for Munyeshuli’s sacking.

Munyeshuli joined the Cabinet in August last year. She was the first person to occupy the new ministerial portfolio following the dissolution of the Ministry of Public Investments and Privatisation and the transfer of its functions to the Finance docket.

Previously, the economist and yoga teacher served as a board member of the AZAHAR Foundation.

Cabinet members in Rwanda are appointed by the President in consultation with the Prime Minister.
