Cabinet to shrink to 12 ministries (…as President-Elect aims to redress bureaucracy with pragmatism)
President-elect and newly appointed leader of Swapo, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, promises a major shake-up in the legislature, as numerous members of the executive face dismissal.
This move is part of her deliberate effort to reduce the number of Cabinet ministers to between 12 and 15, with no deputies.
Currently, Namibia has a total of 21 ministries, headed by both ministers and their deputies, including the Office of the Prime Minister.
