President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has promised to introduce the cabinet of the Government of National Unity in less than one week.
During a meeting with a delegation of the Afghan lawmakers led by house speaker Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi, President Ghani said the majority of issues for the formation of the new cabinet have resolved and the nominees would be introduced in the near future.
The Afghan lawmakers called on President Ghani this evening to seek clarification regarding the delays for the formation of the new cabinet, amid growing concerns that the two leaders are still having differences to name the new cabinet ministers.
In the meantime, President Ghani said that the introduction of the cabinet ministers would not take more than one week time.
He appreciated the concerns among the Afghan people and members of the parliament regarding the delays to announce the nominees to house of representatives.
President Ghani also insisted that the new ministers should remain accountable to the President, house of representatives and the people of Afghanistan.
The cabinet of the Government of National Unity has not been announced despite three months have passed since the formation of the new government.
President Ghani and chief executive officer Dr. Abdullah Abdullah were sworn in on Monday 29th September 2014 after the two leaders agreed to form a Government of National Unity.
President Ghani had promised to announce the cabinet within 45 days after taking the office as the new president of the country.
