The changes also affected the structure of government, including the number of ministries and state ministers. Following the restructuring, Rwanda now has 20 ministries led by 20 ministers, down from 21 previously. The number of State Ministers has also increased from 11 to 12.

The Ministry of Infrastructure has been reorganised and now includes a minister and two state ministers, making it one of only two ministries with more than one state minister, alongside the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning.

The Minister in the Office of the President reviews all legislation before promulgation by the President of the Republic. The Minister is also charged with resolving the citizen complaints addressed to the President and supervises implementation of Presidential pledges; and serves as liaison between Cabinet and Parliament.

The dissolution will not affect the handling of citizens' complaints, which will continue to be addressed.

The role had been held by Judith Uwizeye since 2017. Following the latest changes, she has been appointed Minister of Public Service and Labour, a post she had previously held between 2014 and 2017.

Before Uwizeye, the position was held by Venantie Tugireyezu, who served from 2011. He currently serves as a judge at the Court of Appeal.

These changes form part of ongoing adjustments within President Paul Kagame’s fourth-term. The most recent reshuffle prior to this took place in December 2025, when Dr Telesphore Ndabamenye was appointed Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources and Dr Solange Uwituze was named State Minister.

In the same period, Dr Usta Kaitesi was appointed State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, replacing Gen (Rtd) James Kabarebe.

Earlier, in September 2025, Yves Iradukunda joined the cabinet as State Minister in the Ministry of ICT and Innovation.

These remain the only changes recorded since July 2025, when Dr Justin Nsengiyumva was appointed Prime Minister.

Before that, a reshuffle in December 2024 affected the Ministry of Sports, where Nelly Mukazayire became Minister, Rwego Ngarambe was appointed State Minister, and Godfrey Kabera took up the role of State Minister in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, responsible for Treasury.
