Madagascar’s president Michael Randrianirina said on Sunday he had appointed anti-corruption chief Mamitiana Rajaonarison ?as Prime Minister, days after dismissing the last premier along with the entire cabinet.
Randrianirina, who seized power in October and promised ?a string of reforms, said the ?new prime minister would lead the ?government “on a clean path” and restore hope. ?There was no immediate comment from Rajaonarison.
“That ?integrity you have is what I expect from you as prime minister. Show that the country ?needs people of integrity -people who cannot ?be swayed and who cannot be bought,” the president ?said ?in his address on state television
He did not give any reasons when he dismissed former prime minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo and all other ?ministers yesterday.
Randrianirina ?has ?led what he calls a “Refoundation” since taking power, following a political ?transition that saw the collapse ?of ?the previous government.
He has framed the agenda as a reset aimed at restoring state ?authority, ?fighting corruption and rebuilding ?public trust.–Reuters
