	CRITICISM OF CABINET RESHUFFLE CONTINUE
		When he announced the first cabinet members, people were really disappointed because the same old faces who had served in the previous administration of the Islamic Republic were there", wrote the pro-conservative, English-language daily "Tehran Times".

		Khatami had promised changes, yet he formed a cabinet with the same people taken from among 200 to 300 personalities who throughout the years after the revolution had served in various ministries.

	Cabinet Reshuffle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The United Democratic Party views the latest Cabinet Reshuffle by the Prime Minister announced today as being wrongly motivated and an exercise in futility.
		At no point in the press release issued is it mentioned what the reshuffle will mean for the chronic liquidity crisis facing the country, the total lack of foreign exchange, the unabated crime wave sweeping the country, and the wanton abuse of government power.
		The United Democratic Party calls on the Prime Minister to explain to the nation the real reason for his reshuffle, and to explain to the nation how in 2004 his government intends to deal with the issues of the economy, crime and corruption.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| What cabinet reshuffle?
		Yasser Arafat's announcement of a new cabinet was a combination of tragedy and comedy.
		It is to the credit of Hanan Ashrawi and Abdel-Jawad Saleh that they refused to serve in so debased a cabinet; I was also pleased that Salah Tamari, a member of Fatah, refused the position of minister without portfolio for the fraud that such a position was.
		I think that Arafat's cabinet shuffle has to be seen in that context, as the action of a man who knows how to do nothing except stir up the old pot with the old mix.

	TRINIDADANDTOBAGONEWS.COM - Cabinet Reshuffle - Power of Patronage
		Friday's Cabinet reshuffle should not be viewed as an indictment of the Ministerial competence of those who came out at the receiving end, save perhaps in one instance, and even then just barely, but rather as an example of the power of the Prime Minister under the Westminster system.
		The political future of Cabinet Ministers, who trigger such a situation, can be at risk particularly as they may be viewed as being responsible for the "collapse" of the Government.
		Understandably, talk of a Cabinet reshuffle had been rumoured for several weeks, but it is possible that Manning would not have risked having so far reaching a reshuffle had his "slate" of candidates been soundly defeated at the Party's polls.

		US President George W Bush is looking at a new cabinet line-up having told reporters change is inevitable after winning a second term in office.
		Cabinet secretaries have to be approved by the Senate and Mr Bush would not want to have a large number of appointments left pending at any one time, they suggest.
		While changes in the cabinet would affect the public face of the Bush administration - particularly if well-known figures like Mr Powell and Mr Ridge retire - the direction of policy is expected to continue to come very much from the White House and Mr Bush’s closest advisers.

		President K R Narayanan's widely-reported indisposition and persistent talk in government circles on Friday about an impending cabinet reshuffle on Saturday has left a tantalising trail of mystery whether Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee would really effect the changes.

		With the announcement of yesterday's cabinet reshuffle, voters know the names of those who now have Putin's favor.
		The two most apparent changes are the size of the new cabinet -- Putin slashed the number of cabinet-level positions from 30 to 17 -- and the replacement of Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov with Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Sergei Lavrov.
		Looking at the overall changes in the Russian cabinet, it is clear that they aim to further centralize power in the president and his advisers while also attempting to create a more efficient structure of government.
