current Finance Minister Augustin Matata Mponyo to premiership in the
evening of this Wednesday, August 18: during the half-time of the
Champions League semi-final match pitting Barcelona against Chelsea; a
match that was being relayed live on government-owned TV channel
"RTNC" (as of this writing, the match was still being played at
Stanford Bridge stadium in London).
Prime Minister Matata survived almost unscathed the plane crash in
which Augustin Katumba Mwanke died this past February.
A brilliant move by Kabila to appoint at the helm of his government
such a brilliant technocrat.
Matata is a native of Maniema Province.
More comment on this appointment in the next post as I'm still
watching the football match.
