Breaking: President Ndayishimiye sacks Burundi Minister of Commerce
RegionWeek Newsletter Vol IV, Issue #169 | Saturday, May 1, 2021
“The Minister of Commerce, Transport, Industry, and Tourism Immaculate Ndabaneze is deposed by President Evariste Ndayishimiye as her actions risked compromising the country's economy and tarnishing Burundi's image,” read a decree that went public this May 1st as Burundi was celebrating the International Labor Day.
Ndabaneze was a Minister in the lean Government that President Evariste Ndayishimiye formed in 2020 with a Cabinet of 15 members, down from 21, and named 5 women as Minister among them Minister of Justice: Madame Jeanine Nibizi, Minister of Public Service, Labor, and Employment: Madame Domine Banyankimbona, Minister of National Solidarity, Social Affairs, Human Rights and Gender: Madame Immelde Sabushimike and Minister of Communication, Information Technologies, and Media: Mrs. Marie Chantal Nijimbere.
According to Iwacu Immaculée Ndabaneze, is from Gihanga commune, Bubanza province. An economist by training, Immaculée Ndabaneze has 20 years of professional experience in the banking industry. The 1993 crisis pushed her to get into politics in 1999.
In the past, she served as Chairman of the standing committee in charge of economic issues, the environment, finance, and the budget. She currently chairs the board of directors of "Tujane microfinance" since its creation in 2018.
