Clint Camilleri will be appointed Gozo Minister, replacing Justyne Caruana, who resigned in the wake of reports linking her former policeman husband to Yorgen Fenech.
The announcement was made by Prime Minister Robert Abela on Monday evening.
Abela also announced that Anton Refalo has been appointed Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights, taking over the portfolio that had been given to Camilleri last week.
Refalo will be sworn in as minister tomorrow afternoon.
