How many ministers?


logoMonday, 31 August 2015
The delay in the appointment of the Cabinet of Ministers seems to indicate that the Prime Minister and the President are finding it difficult to select the ministers from among the aspirants. According to our law the number of Ministers should be limited to 30; except that in the case of a National Government it could go up to 45.
The problem in having too many ministers (apart from the higher costs it imposes on the public) is that there can be a problem for the administration if there are too many ministers. So how many ministers should there be?
