Jordan is to announce a cabinet reshuffle in the government of Prime Minister Samir Rifai on Wednesday, official sources said.

The government shake-up is expected to include five ministers, namely ministers of agriculture, communication and media affairs, justice, tourism, labor and education, according to the official sources.

The reshuffle is the first since the incumbent government was formed in December 2009 by King Abdullah II.

Cabinet reshuffles are routine business in Jordan.
