Cairo ( CNN ) -- Egyptian Prime Minister Esam Sharaf shuffled his Cabinet Sunday , amid protests calling for the interim government to quicken the pace of reform . Sharaf appointed Hazem El-Beblawi , a newly-named deputy prime minister , to replace outgoing Finance Minister Samir Radwan , said ministry spokesman Ibtisam Saad . The prime minister accepted the resignation of Industry Minister Samir Al-Sayyad , according to Ahmed Saman , spokesman for Sharaf . It was not immediately clear who would replace him . Sharaf also appointed new health and transportation ministers , Saman said . The antiquities minister submitted his resignation , which was accepted , the spokesman added . The moves come amid an ongoing shakeup in the government , which is under pressure to speed up the pace of reform since President Hosni Mubarak resigned on February 11 after protests . Egypt 's Foreign Minister Mohamed el-Orabi , who had been in office for less than a month , stepped down on Saturday . Several people working within the current government have been criticized for allegedly being too close to the former leader and those who helped suppress demonstrations last winter . Thousands of disgruntled pro-democracy activists have again descended on Cairo 's Tahrir Square , setting up tents in the iconic roundabout that was the hub of the uprising . The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and Sharaf 's caretaker cabinet have been in charge of the country since Mubarak 's ouster . Egypt 's military rulers have scheduled parliamentary elections for September . CNN 's Frederik Pleitgen and journalist Mohamed Fadel Fahmy contributed to this report .
