KUCHING, Nov 22 — The Sarawak Cabinet will be expanded to accommodate a larger line-up of ministers in line with the state’s growing administrative demands and development ambitions, said Tan Sri Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nassar.
The State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Speaker said the expansion has become necessary following the increase in the number of state assembly seats from 82 to 99.
“The ever-expanding, stupendous task and responsibilities of the Cabinet inescapably require an increase in the number of ministers.
“Some ministers have two portfolios, some ministers have three portfolios, and their winding up is very lengthy. Therefore, you need to increase the number of ministers and split the portfolios,” he told a press conference after the pre-council meeting here ahead of the State Legislative Assembly sitting. — The Borneo Post
