Our rather new phase 4 Government is some 10 months old now. Since coming to power, there has been a major upheaval of institutions for security and internal affairs. Crime rate which shot staggeringly high at the entry of the phase 4 was dealt with and one could say it's been put under control.
However, the country has experienced one of the worst electrical power crises with outages for hours everyday.
On Sunday 15 oct 06, there was a first major cabinet reshuffle (but without any new appointment), whereby 10 ministers and 8 deputy ministers were moved to different ministries. Methinks this is warning flare to the old guys: deliver or vacate. The ministers who had to be moved around include that of Industries, Trade and Markets (and his Deputy), Minister for Energy and Minerals, Minister for Water, Minister for Natural resources, to name a few.
I'm keen to see what comes out of this move for our country which is still one of the poorest in the world.
