Members of the opposition have reacted to the second reshuffle of the Executive Directors, as announced this week by Secretary to the Cabinet Emilia Mkus. All in all, eight executive directors (EDs) have been redeployed to new ministries.

The ED of information and communication technology, Audrin Mathe, moves to the Ministry of Justice and Labour Relations, replacing Nghidinua Daniel, who has been transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security. Nghidinua takes over from Etienne Maritz, who is set to retire. Moreover, Erastus Haitengela will be the new ED of education, innovation, youth, sport, arts and culture, while Gerard Vries will be the ED responsible for sport, youth and national service in the same ministry. Ndiyakupi Nghituwamata will be the ED responsible for agriculture and land reform in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, while Teofilus Nghitila will be responsible for water and marine resources in the same ministry.

But former official opposition leader, McHenry Venaani, says this is not the best way to do it, especially when trying to deal with EDs accused of corruption.
