Malawian President Joyce Banda has named one of her closest allies - Khumbo Kachali - as the new vice president as part of a shake-up of the government following the death of her predecessor, Bingu wa Mutharika. Since taking office at the week-end, Banda has sacked top officials, including the chief of police and the information minister. RFI asked Malawi's new Information Minister Moses Kumkuyu, if he expects more heads to roll.
