Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is expected to swear in all cabinet ministers on Friday to finalize the formation of the inclusive government in line with the broad- based agreement signed by the three main political parties in September last year, The Herald reported on Friday.
Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda said 39 people would be appointed "ministers" but gave no information as to the portfolios they would be assigned, Xinhua reported.
According to the broad-based agreement, Zanu-PF will have 15 Cabinet portfolios, MDC-T 13 and the MDC three, to reflect the distribution of the popular vote in last year's elections.
The agreement has already been modified by the appointment of two ministers from Zanu-PF and MDC-T to share the running of the Ministry of Home Affairs to bring the total of Cabinet ministers to 32.
MDC-T spokesperson Nelson Chamisa last night speculated that two people would be appointed as Ministers of State in the offices of the President and Prime Minister.
