Guinea’s transitional president has announced a partial cabinet reshuffle, splitting five major ministries into ten new portfolios to boost administrative efficiency.

The move, unveiled Monday by the Secretary General of the Presidency, is meant to improve sectoral performance and strengthen public service delivery.

However, the decision has sparked criticism across the political spectrum. Many Guineans, including supporters of the junta, argue that expanding the cabinet is ill-timed given the country’s worsening economic challenges.

As discontent grows, analysts say the reshuffle may deepen political tensions ahead of the country’s return to civilian rule.
