GUATEMALA: Pérez Molina rewards allies with key posts
President-elect Otto Pérez Molina has named his entire cabinet, with one exception, comfortably in advance of his taking power on 14 January. Key ministerial positions went to both small parties which backed him in the second round of elections.
