Art. 76(9) · Part 7
Cabinet Size Limit
मन्त्रिपरिषद् आकार
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text
The President shall constitute the Council of Ministers comprising a maximum of twenty five Ministers including the Prime Minister, in accordance with the inclusive principle.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
The cabinet cannot exceed 25 ministers including the PM. They must follow the inclusive principle - meaning representation of women, marginalized communities, provinces. Previous governments had 40+ ministers through political deals - this article limits that.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
प्रधानमन्त्री सहित अधिकतम २५ मन्त्री। समावेशी सिद्धान्त अनुसार नियुक्ति।
✅ Good Aspects
Limits cabinet bloat that drained government resources in past.
⚠️ Concerns
25 is still large for a small country. "Inclusive principle" application varies widely.
