KIEV, Sept. 28 - President Viktor Yushchenko re-appointed Viktor Pynzenyk as the finance minister and appointed Viktor Bondar as the transportation minister to replace Yevhen Chervonenko, a close ally of Yushchenko, the presidential press service reported.

The latest appointments, which come a day later than most of other appointments, show they may be politically motivated as Yushchenko has been carefully screening the candidates.
