Bloated Cabinet: Balochistan set to have 49 ministers

QUETTA: Four more members of the Balochistan Assembly will take oath as members of the Balochistan Cabinet today, raising the number of ministers to 49, making it the biggest Cabinet ever in the history of the province.

The oath-taking ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Governor’s House and Governor of Balochistan Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Magsi will administer the oath to three members of PPP – Ali Madad Jatak, Jaffar George and Nasir Jamali – and Rubina Irfan of PML-Q.

Jatak, George and Irfan were sacked from the cabinet last year after violating discipline.
