Zambia’a Vice-president Inonge Wina
|
Republican President Edgar Lungu,
Zambia‘s newly-elected president on Monday in Lusaka, appointed
Inonge Wina as the country’s first female Vice President Leadership reports.
Wina is the widow of MMD chairman
Arthur Wina. She also becomes the first female Vice-President in the history of
Zambia.
Lungu said the new Zambian vice-president
was a unifying person in the governing party who stood with Lungu when the
party was divided into factions following the death of President Michael Sata
last October.
“She stood up for the party and a
unifying factor; she is a mother and she will bring a breath of life to the
government,” he said.
Lungu, appointed only eight
ministers of his 22-member cabinet, has retained ministers from the previous
administration led by Sata.
Harry Kalaba stayed as foreign
minister while Alexander Chikwanda retained his position as finance
minister.
Others who have retained their
positions are Health Minister Joseph Kasonde, Tourism and Arts Minister Jean
Kapata while Ngosa Simbyakula has moved from Home Affairs to the Ministry
of Justice and has been replaced by Davies Mwila, the new Home Affairs
Minister.
The Zambian leader has since called
on his colleagues to get to work. Source: Naij
