Exit Magande, In Mwaanga

A dramatic reshuffle of government this afternoon has seen Magande lose his job, along with one of the most effective local government ministers in recent times, Silvia Masebo. Its unclear whether both resigned or were fired. No new jobs for Sakwiba Sikota and other leading "opposition figures" that endorsed RB. Also the government remains bloated as ever, although George Kunda now combines two functions.

The new cabinet :

  1. Vice President & Minister of Justice : Hon George Kunda
  2. Minister of Defence : Hon. George Mpombo
  3. Minister of Finance and National Planning : Hon. Situmbeko Musokotwane
  4. Minister of Home Affairs : Hon. Kalombo Mwansa
