He was dismissed from the government soon afterward, on 7 September 2017, due to his criticism of other members of the government, culminating in a critical post to social media about Prime Minister [[Emmanuel Issoze Ngondet]].<ref>Mathieu Olivier, [http://www.jeuneafrique.com/472610/politique/gabon-bruno-ben-moubamba-limoge-sans-surprise-du-gouvernement/ "Gabon : Bruno Ben Moubamba limogé sans surprise du gouvernement"], ''Jeune Afrique'', 8 September 2017 {{fr icon}}.</ref>
