Saudi gets first woman minister
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah replaced the central bank governor of 26 years yesterday as part of a broad government reshuffle that included the appointment of the first Saudi woman to a cabinet position.
King Abdullah promoted Mohamed al-Jasser, vice governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (Sama) since 1995, to the post of governor, replacing Hamad Saud al-Sayyari.
King Abdullah also appointed Norah al-Fayez as deputy education minister, the highest government post to be filled by a woman.
The reshuffle also saw the replacement of Ibrahim al-Ghaith, head of the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, by Abdul Aziz al-Humain. The head of the commission is the kingdom’s second most influential cleric. – Reuters
