What the report says

Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has announced a broad Cabinet reshuffle that includes new leadership at the Ministry of Justice and several other agencies, according to the Liberian Observer via AllAfrica. The changes were announced on Wednesday, with the Executive Mansion saying the moves are part of efforts to improve institutional performance and public service delivery.

At the Justice Ministry, Cllr. Betty M. Lamin-Blamo was named Minister of Justice, replacing Oswald N. Tweh. Cllr. Abrahim Boimah Sillah, Sr. was appointed Solicitor General in place of Augustine Fayiah. The report says both outgoing officials are expected to be reassigned elsewhere in government.

The reshuffle also affects other parts of the administration. New or revised roles were announced at the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, the Public Procurement and Concessions Commission, the Ministry of Local Government, and the National Transit Authority. Among those named were Angel M. Morris, Harrison K. Sorsor, Alex Chersia Grant, Christopher Ben Bailey, and Benedict Yeke Harleysion, Sr.

The changes are notable because they touch key legal and administrative posts, suggesting a wider effort by the Boakai government to reorganize its team and strengthen day-to-day governance.
