Posted by Malawi on Thursday swore in only half of its new cabinet after President Peter Mutharika’s Democratic Progressive Party won the elections nearly a month ago.
Mutharika had come under criticism for delays in appointing his cabinet, with legislators complaining parliamentary debates could not proceed without ministers available to answer questions.
Mutharika finally appointed nine ministers on Thursday. A tenth minister, former International Monetary Fund official Goodall Gondwe, had already been given the finance portfolio and sworn in earlier this month.
