Cuba’s transport minister ousted
Cuba President Raul Castro has fired the country’s transportation minister for 'professional mistakes,' according to an Associated Press report Tuesday.
Transport Minister Jorge Luis Sierra was removed from role he started in February 2009. Sierra also forfeited his post as a vice president of the Council of Ministers, a governing body that serves as Cuba’s cabinet.
No other details were given by the government for Sierra's ouster, other than 'errors committed while in the act of carrying out his duties.'
In the last two weeks, the government had also dismissed Rogelio Acevedo, who had overseen its airlines and airports, amidst upheaval in many of the country's top posts.
