Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan named a new energy minister on Wednesday as part of a cabinet reshuffle, ahead of expected cabinet approval for a $42 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
The agreement is awaiting cabinet approval and a final investment decision is expected in 2025.
Kusiluka gave no reasons for the cabinet changes, which left Finance Minister Mwigulu Nchemba in his post. Antony Mavunde will become mines minister, Kusiluka said. Other ministries with leadership changes include defence, works and transport, and lands, housing and human settlements. Tanzania is due to hold its next elections in 2025. President Hassan, who took over from her predecessor John Magufuli after his death in 2021, is expected to stand for a second term.
