In Gabon, Prime Ministre Daniel Ona Ondo has made public on the 7th August 2016, on TV, a cabinet shuffle that affected three key positions within the goverment.
Denise Mekamme, Minister for Higher education and Scientific Research prior to the shuffle, was appointed as the new Minister of Justice of Human Rights, thus replacing Séraphin Moundounga who quit his position. She herself has been replaced by Désiré Guedon, formely Chief of the Ministerial Department for housing and urbanism. Guedon was replaced by Alexis Boutamba Mbina. Apart from these, the government remains unchanged.
Mbina’s case is peculiar since he had already occupied this position in 2009. The Finance inspector joined the government for the first time in 2008 as deputy minister of small and medium enterprises, social economy and poverty reduction.
