Grégoire Kamanga (born 20 October 1927) was a Congolese politician who twice served as Minister of Public Health of the Republic of the Congo.
[4] In 1959 in Luluabourg Kamanga founded the Coalition Kasaïenne (COAKA) party to unify several minor tribes of Kasaï Province—including the Babindji, Basala Mpasu, and Bena Mputa—against the political threat posed by the dominant Lulua and Baluba.
[5] In the Congo's first elections the following year he won a seat in the Chamber of Deputies on a COAKA ticket with 20,050 preferential votes, representing the Lulua constituency.
[1] "I gathered that his shortness of stature gave him some sort of complex; but as a skilled medical assistant he would make, I was convinced, an excellent Minister of Public Health."
[9] After intense negotiation among various political factions a new Congolese central government was formed on 2 August under Cyrille Adoula, and Kamanga reassumed his position as Minister of Public Health.
