"This country needs a person of integrity, a person of principle, incorruptible and who cannot be bought with money. Randrianirina said integrity is what he expects from Rajaonarison in the post of prime minister. The appointment came after Randrianirina dismissed Prime Minister Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo and all other cabinet ministers last Monday, offering no explanation for the move."
"Colonel Randrianirina, who promised a string of reforms after he took power last year, said Rajaonarison would lead the government on a clean path and restore hope. The Malagasy nation needs bold decisions. We are now at a turning point, Randrianirina said at a ceremony in the presidential palace broadcast on state television."
"The new prime minister, Rajaonarison, has led the Financial Intelligence Unit (SAMIFIN), which combats illicit financial flows, money laundering and terrorism financing, since 2021. He is expected to announce his new cabinet shortly."
President Michael Randrianirina of Madagascar appointed Mamitiana Rajaonarison, the country's anticorruption chief and former senior gendarmerie officer, as prime minister following the dissolution of the cabinet. Rajaonarison, who has led the Financial Intelligence Unit since 2021 combating illicit financial flows and money laundering, replaces Herintsalama Rajaonarivelo. Randrianirina, who seized power in October amid protests against water and power shortages, emphasized that Rajaonarison's integrity and incorruptibility would lead the government on a clean path and restore hope. The president stated the nation requires bold decisions and a person of principle at this turning point. Rajaonarison is expected to announce his new cabinet shortly.
