DR Congo Cabinet Reshuffle Sees Ex Warlord Bemba Make a Comeback DRC
The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, announced a Cabinet reshuffle on March 23, 2023.
A big surprise is the addition of Jean-Pierre Bemba, former prime minister from 2003-2006. The former warlord had been sentenced to 18 years in prison by the International Criminal Court for crimes committed in the Central African Republic before being acquitted on appeal in 2018. He served ten years of his sentence.
Another official staging a comeback is Vital Kamerhe, former chief of staff for President Tshisekedi. In 2020 he was sentenced to 20 years in jail for embezzlement, but was acquitted on appeal in 2022. Kamerhe is now in charge of the economy and also a deputy prime minister - one of five deputy prime ministers.allAfrica, 24 March 2023
