   Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

   Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf took the first step Wednesday
   toward  reconstituting  her  cabinet  by  reappointing  six  important
   ministers.

   Two  weeks  ago,  the president put her entire cabinet, except for the
   minister   of   state   for  presidential  affairs,  on  a  compulsory
   administrative leave.

   President  Sirleaf Wednesday reappointed the ministers of agriculture,
   public  works,  planning  and  economic  affairs,  youth  and  sports,
   justice, and the director of the civil service agency.

   Rodney  Sieh,  publisher  and  editor-in-chief of the FrontPage Africa
   online  magazine  and newspaper told VOA the reappointments so far are
   based on performance.
