President Hakainde Hichilema is currently swearing in newly appointed Cabinet ministers and provincial ministers at a ceremony underway at State House in Lusaka.

The proceedings come a day after Parliament approved the restructuring of government ministries, paving the way for the number of ministries to increase from 24 to 30.

The restructuring includes the creation of separate ministries responsible for Electricity and Petroleum, as well as the separation of other portfolios previously combined under single ministries.

The appointments are expected to give the new government structure its leadership as President Hichilema begins the next phase of his administration’s Grow Zambia Agenda.

Attention is now on who has been appointed to the new portfolios, which ministers have retained their positions, and whether the President has made any unexpected choices.

The appointment of provincial ministers is also being closely watched as the government prepares to implement its programmes across the country.

With the restructuring generating debate over the size and cost of government, the new lineup will also raise questions about how the administration intends to ensure efficiency, accountability and improved public service delivery.

Are there any surprises in Hichilema’s new Cabinet? Zambian Eye is following the swearing-in ceremony and will update this story as details emerge.
