President Kagame has appointed Ernest Nsabimana as the new Minister of Infrastructure, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office on Monday, January 31.
Claver Gatete who was at the helm of the ministry for almost four years has been appointed the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Rwanda to the United Nations headquarters in New York.
In the same ministry, Patricia Uwase who was the Permanent Secretary from September 2018, has been named State Minister.
On the other hand, Ambassador Gatete was the Minister of Finance and Economic planning before assuming the infrastructure docket.
Prior to his cabinet positions, he was the Central bank’s governor, a position he assumed after a tour of duty as Rwanda’s high commissioner to the United Kingdom.
In New York, Gatete will replace Valentine Rugwabiza.
