Swearing in of Ministers on Monday - 40 Ministers in all

It is reported that the new Ministers to be appointed are to be sworn in on next Monday the 24th instant.As there is a speculation that a national government is to be formed the number of ministers who are to be appointed appears to exceed the number proposed number of Ministers, if the UNF was to form a government on their own. Hence this number has to be increase and would be restricted to 40 Ministers it is reliably learnt.

It has been reported that up to the 20th finalisation of the portfolios had not been completed and it is leant that there  are going to be a number changes in regard to the functions of the related portfolios of the Ministries.

There had been a number of queries with regard to the amount of Ministers .Earlier it was decided to have a maximum of 30 ministers only.But under a good governance government this amount seems to exceed even 40 it is speculated.
