It’s beginning to emerge that last week’s reshuffle was a bombshell to those affected, as well as those who went unscathed. The public, but especially the media, had been speculating, for some time now, that the president would sooner or later have to shift some of his ministers round, perhaps even sacking some of them outright. The conventional wisdom prevailing however was that he may just wait to celebrate his first anniversary in office on January 7, 2002 before taking the scalpel to his government appointees. That he embarked on his first reshuffle only ten months into his tenure shows the extent to which he must have been compelled to move so fast.
