Around 10 ministers swapped portfolios.Two new ministers were announced and the Minister of Agriculture, Yves Fernand Manfoumbi, was dismissed. The move was linked to a visit he made to his electoral stronghold on February 18th where he danced inappropriately at a rally. Pictures of him rolling on the ground were roundly condemned on the Internet.Francis Nkea Dzigue, previously Minister of Justice, remains in the cabinet even though his colleagues had called for his resignation following a strike that paralysed the justice system in December. He has been transferred to the Ministry of Housing. He is replaced by Edgard Anicet Mboumbou Miyakou.
