SUBJECT:  NIGER: PRESIDENT TANDJA NAMES NEW CABINET 
 
REF: (A) Niamey 783 (B) Niamey 737 (C) Niamey 736 
 
1.  Summary:  President Tandja, on June 9, announced a new cabinet 
made up of 32 members (including the Prime Minister), to replace the 
one that was dissolved following the National Assembly's May 31 no 
confidence vote on the former Prime Minister (ref a). Nineteen 
incumbent ministers, including the ministers of Interior, Foreign 
Affairs, Finance, and Communication remain in their positions, while 
two change portfolios.  The departments of Defense and Justice get 
new ministers.  The new cabinet includes eight women, as compared to 
six in the previous one.  The reaction to the new cabinet has been 
generally favorable, even among those who were disappointed with 
Oumarou's appointment as Prime Minister.  End Summary. 
 
2.  Ministers who were replaced include: 
 
-- Minister of Defense Souley Hassane; 
-- Minister of Justice Maty Elhadji Moussa; 
-- Minister of Commerce Habi Mahamdou Salissou; 
-- Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Souleymane Kane; 
-- Minister of Water Resources Abdou Labo; 
-- Minister of Tourism Amadou Nouhou; 
-- Minister of Health Kabaou Mahamadou; 
-- Minister of Community Development Mounkaila Modi; 
-- Minister of Women's Promotion Zeinabou Moulaye; 
-- Minister of Animal Resources Djina Abdoulaye; and 
-- Minister of Young Business People's Promotion Gazobi Rahamou. 
 
3.  New Ministers include: 
 
-- Dagra Mamadou, Minister of Justice; 
-- Djida Hamadou, Minister of Defense; 
-- Halidou Badj, Minister of Commerce, Industry and 
Standardization; 
-- Kindo Hamani, Minister of Commerce and Civil Aviation; 
-- Issa Lamine, Minister of Health; 
-- Mrs. Barry Bibata, Minister of Women's Promotion and Child 
Protection; 
-- Issiat Kato, Minister of Animal Resources; 
-- Mrs. Amadou Aissa Siddo, Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts; 
-- Mrs. Saad Souley, Minister of Community Development; 
-- Tassiou Aminou, Minister of Water Resources; 
-- Salou Gobi, Minister of Young Business People's Promotion and 
Public Companies'              Restructuring; 
-- Mrs. Maizama Hadiza, Minister of Professional and Technical 
Training; and 
-- Saidou Hachimou, Minister of African Integration and Nigeriens 
Abroad; 
 
4.  One new ministry has been created:  the Ministry of African 
Integration and Nigeriens Abroad, which was previously part of the 
former Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and African 
Integration. 
 
5.  The Ministry of Programs Monitoring, Evaluation and Dialogue 
with Development Partners, which was only created in March, has been 
eliminated.  It will likely be reintegrated within the Ministry of 
Economy and Finance. 
 
6.  Comment:  The new cabinet was generally well received, even by 
those who were disappointed by Oumarou's appointment as Prime 
Minister.  It appears to reflect President Tandja's pledge to put 
the right person in the right place in an effort to improve 
performance and limit corruption within Niger's public service. 
Five key ministers including those of Interior, Foreign Affairs, 
Finance, Justice, and Equipment are known to be the President's 
protgs.  In addition, the no confidence motion may have given him 
the opportunity to purge the government of officials widely believed 
to be corrupt, such as the now former ministers of Transport, 
Commerce, and Justice.  Former Transport Minister Souleymane Kane 
(who is the President's son-in-law) faced media allegations of 
illegal dealings over the choice of companies in charge of making 
vehicle license plates, as well as his management of the Niger 
warehousing area at the port of Cotonou and services at the Niamey 
airport.  Former Commerce Minister Habi Mahamadou Salissou 
acknowledged misappropriating about 80 million CFA ($160,000) worth 
of foreign food assistance.  Former Justice Minister Maty Elhadji 
Moussa had been under strong criticism over his alleged interference 
in high-profile court cases.  One major criticism remains about the 
Nigerien cabinet - its size.
