A cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame on Wednesday appointed Vincent Munyeshyaka as the new Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government (Minaloc). Munyeshyaka replaces Cyrille Turatsinze who was dropped after being charged in court for corruption, though he was later acquitted after the prosecution failed to prove its case.

Mark Nkurunziza is the new Chief Finance Officer at RDB while Ambassador Jacqueline Mukangira, who has been the Director of Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was appointed the Director General of Research at the Senate. Monique Nsanzabaganwa was appointed board Chairperson of the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda while Dr Emmanuel Nkurunziza is the new board chairperson of Rwanda Housing Authority. The Cabinet meeting approved a ministerial decree authorising Rwanda Tourism College to issue Bachelor’s Degrees and also endorsed a bill establishing the University of Rwanda that will bring under one roof all state institutions.
