Sierra Leone: Bio ReShuffles Cabinet

President Julius Maada Bio reshuffled his cabinet amid questions about the viability of his nominees.  His New Direction party seemed to be concerned with pushing its nominees through the vetting process about a year ago.  By making this move now, it seems that Bio is admitting the process was rushed and possibly flawed.
On the other hand, making the changes now gives him time to re-establish the support he garnered in his presidential victory and perhaps make steps to improve the direction Sierra Leone is taking.
