Regarding the post for the Commissioner of Rural Economy and Agriculture, the new Commissioner will be elected at an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers billed for Arusha, Tanzania, in the first week of April 2008.
The election was postponed to conform to the African Union rules in respect to regional and Gender balance. Of Africa’s five regions, the eastern region did not have a female commissioner during the election. The post of Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture has therefore been reserved for a female candidate from the eastern region.
