National Assembly: MP Hermione Bolumbe files a no-confidence motion against Muhindo Nzangi

National MP Hermione Bolumbe Bakando filed a no-confidence motion on October 23, 2026, against Muhindo Nzangi Butondo, the minister of state for agriculture and food security. The Mont-Amba representative and member of the Alternative divine parliamentary group alleges the misappropriation of $57 million from the African Development Bank allocated to PEJAB, a project supporting young agricultural entrepreneurs. She acted after finding the minister’s answers during an oral question-and-debate session on October 21 unsatisfactory. Nzangi said the funds remained available and were being disbursed gradually, and that 1,107 young people had already received funding.
