Adanech Abebe is confirmed as Ethiopia’s first women attorney general.Two more women appointed for ministerial positions. Adanech Abebe, who used to serve as Minister for the Ministry of Revenue, is confirmed as the first women attorney general in the history of Ethiopia. La’qe Ayalew, former deputy head of Amhara regional state, will take over her previous position in the Ministry of Revenue, and the parliament has confirmed him too. As it turns out, it made it possible for one more female minister in Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s cabinet. Constitutionally, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is entitled to propose his minister to the parliament, but his opponents in the parliament seem to accept that arguing that he has lost legal ground to remain as Prime Minister.
