Madagascar’s President announces cabinet reshuffle

Antananarivo, Aug 16 (Prensa Latina) Madagascar's President, Andry Rajoelina, made effective the dismissal of the full cabinet for its poor results and announced the integration of a new one that takes office today.

In a televised address last night, the president specified that the new council will have 32 members, a dozen of them from the previous one, and admitted that they have no right to fail for the good of the Malagasy people.

The purge in the ministerial team is part of the political shake-up in this African island country after the thwarting of a coup attempt that included the assassination of President Rajoelina and the murder of other personalities, according to the official version.
