Alphonse Koyamba (2 August 1941 - 5 May 1998) was a Central African economist and politician who held two ministerial positions during the Bokassa government.

Born in Ouésso on 2 August 1941, Koyamba began his career by becoming the director of statistics and economic affairs at the High Commission for Planning.[1] He later joined the Ministry of Finance in the unknown year and served as the director of the central bank and then statistics and economic forecasting on 2 June 1971.[2] Afterward, Bokassa appointed him as deputy minister of finance, industry, and trade on 13 May 1972 for five months.[1]

Minister of Finance

Koyamba became the minister of finance on 27 October 1972. During his tenure, he signed a monetary cooperation agreement between the BEAC member states and France on 23 November 1972 on behalf of the Central African Republic.[1] He also led the Central African Republic delegation to South Africa in February 1975 where the delegates signed the 4-million ZAR aid package for a tourist hotel complex near Bangui.[3] However, Bokassa dismissed Koyamba on 9 June 1975 and replaced him with Marie-Christine Gbokou due to the accusation of accounting mistakes.[1]
