SUBJECT: FINAL WAVE OF APPOINTMENTS IN TRANSITIONAL 
GOVERNMENT RE-SHUFFLE 
 
REF: A. A. KINSHASA 1561 
     B. B. KINSHASA 1465 
     C. C. KINSHASA 1448 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  Following President Kabila's ruling 
faction appointments of replacements for newly elected 
National Assembly members who were required to retire from 
their government posts on October 11 (ref A), the remaining 
transitional factions followed suit by naming their own 
replacements who were approved on October 16.  Replacement 
ministers, governors and heads of parastatal companies 
appointed by the other factions for the remainder of the 
transition period (anticipated to last at most two to four 
months) generally represent a reshuffling of party faithful 
previously serving in a different ministry.  Most of these 
short-term appointees will make little political difference, 
but they will add increased strain to the government's bottom 
line as all will be eligible for salaries, benefits, and 
severance packages after their limited service -- and some 
will undoubtedly find opportunities for "unofficial" personal 
profit.  End summary. 
 
2. (SBU)  As reported reftel A, in accordance with the DRC's 
Constitution, forty-nine National Assembly members were 
required to resign their previous government posts within 
eight days of the approval of their new mandates.  In order 
to fill high-level spots vacated by delegates to the new 
National Assembly, all factions of the transition 
government-- including those loyal to President Joseph 
Kabila, Vice Presidents Jean-Pierre Bemba and Azarias 
Ruberwa, Mai Mai groups, political opposition and civil 
society -- nominated replacements for the ministries and 
bureaus which remained under their control.  Kabila's 
nominees, who were approved on October 11, have been followed 
by the nominees of the other transitional government 
factions, who were confirmed by presidential decree October 
16.   Few names stand out among the new Congolese ministers, 
governors and heads of parastatal companies.  Several are 
failed National Assembly candidates, others are party 
functionaries or career public servants, and some have been 
transferred from other ministries. 
 
3. (SBU) The appointment of Tharcisse Habarugira (RCD) as 
Minister of Defense is one of the notable exceptions. 
Habarugira inherits the position reserved to Azarias 
Ruberwa's RCD under the Sun City Accords.  A Tutsi from the 
Jomba area near Rutshuru in North Kivu province, he is 
thought to be one of the few party members to retain at least 
some influence with renegade general Laurent Nkunda. 
Habarugira is also reputed to have a good working 
relationship with Ruberwa, who lost most of his political 
clout after the RCD's poor showing in the July elections. 
 
4. (SBU) The remainder of the new ministerial appointees 
confirmed on October 16 follow: 
Minister of Justice:  Pierre Ilunga Bundu wa Biluba 
(political opposition) 
Minister of Plan:  Gerard Ntumba (MLC) 
Minister of Budget:  Jean-Claude Molipe (MLC) 
Minister of Economy:  Moise Nyarugabo (RCD) 
Minister of Mines:  Mathieu Kalele Kabila (political 
opposition) 
Minister of Portfolio:  Balamage Nkolo (RCD-G) 
Minister of Public Administration:  Mme. Charlotte Twamba 
Anzelani (civil society) 
Minister of Agriculture:  Romain Nimy (MLC) 
Minister of Rural Development:  Xavier Idi Mwanuke (Mai Mai) 
Minister of Public Works/Infrastructure:  Benjamin Kaswama 
(MLC) 
Minister of Environment:  Elias Mulungula (Mai Mai) 
Minister of Tourism:  Simon Tshitenge 
Minister of Primary/Secondary Education:  Nyioni Bwanakawa 
Minister of Labor:  Hubert Efole (RCD-G) 
Minister of Youth and Sport:  Timothee Muteba (MLC) 
 
5. (U) Provincial officials include: 
Governor of Bandundu:  Edouard Wenzi Wakoyula (MLC) 
Vice Governor of Equateur:  Jose Lipekele 
Vice Governors of Kasai Occidental:  Ngandu Lukadi, Cosmat 
Minga Bengele 
Vice Governor of Province Orientale:  Ngelengi Elle 
Vice Governor of South Kivu:  Ignace Mupira Mambo. 
 
6. (SBU) Comment:  In policy terms, these lame-duck, 
short-term appointees will be hard pressed to accomplish much 
before they too are likely replaced sometime after the 
December 10 presidential inauguration.  Elections of new 
governors by the Provincial Assemblies (whose members will 
 
also be elected on October 29) are scheduled in mid-January 
2007.  The heaviest cost for the GDRC may be the burden of 
providing full severance benefits, pensions and other perks 
for a raft of high-level appointees who will only hold their 
positions for a few months.  End comment.
