What could be described as the much-anticipated full cabinet reshuffle that has been whispered in the corridors of power in Freetown for quite a long time has finally been announced. Many Ministers, Ambassadors and Deputy Ambassadors lost their positions while others were transferred elsewhere. We will do an analysis of the changes later, but we cannot help noting the appointment of Mr. Mohamed Bangura as Information Minister. Mohamed (photo)will be stepping into the shoes of the Great Magnetic Spectrum or Vuvuzela Number One (Honourable Alpha Kanu) who now goes to State House as Special Adviser to the President. Meanwhile here is the announcement from State House we received Sunday evening.
