Émile Gros Raymond Nakombo

Émile Gros Raymond Nakombo (born 3 December 1956) is a Central African politician currently serving as the mayor of Bangui since 2016.

[2][3] Nakombo has held several positions, such as Deputy Director General of the Moroccan-Central African People's Bank (BPMC) and administrator-manager of the Compagnie d’Exploitation des Tabacs de Centrafrique-Cameroun (CETAC).

[5] Other than that, as the city's population grew rapidly, he created a Bangui master plan to tackle various issues from urbanization, and sanitation to insecurity.

[2] Additionally, Nakombo successfully solved the town's hall retiree issues that have persisted since 1972 by paying them the retirement fund.

He also tried to solve the waste problem through donors from AFD, EU, and the World Bank, although it bore little fruit due to the lack of funds.
