PM inducts two more ministers

Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has expanded his cabinet for the fifth time Friday by inducting two more ministers.

Rajendra Mahato from Sadbhawana Party and Prem Bahadur Singh from Samajwadi Prajatantrik Janata Party have been inducted to the cabinet as commerce and supplies minister, and law and justice minister, respectively. Singh represents the fringe parties supporting the government.

The cabinet has become 32-membered with the latest expansion.

However, the cabinet has not attained its full shape even after the expansion for the fifth time. Madheshi Janadhikar Forum, Terai Madhesh Loktantrik Party, Sadbhawana and some fringe parties are yet to recommend names of some ministers and state ministers from their parties.

Earlier, PM Nepal had expanded his cabinet on June 4, 17 and 24 after he took oath of office and secrecy along with two ministers on May 25. nepalnews.com Jul 03 09
