KABUL - Afghan Minister in Parliamentary Affairs, Homayoun Azizi on Wednesday said that some changes have been brought in the Afghan cabinet.
Mr Azizi said that the list of ministers has been sent to Afghan parliament to win vote of confidence.
It comes after some MPs criticized the government for not introducing the remaining cabinet and Supreme Court members to win vote of confidence.

Several ministries including Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Transport and Aviation, Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Water and Energy, Ministry of Women's Affairs, Ministry of Communication and Technology and Ministry of Urban Development are still being managed by acting ministers since nearly two years.

The Afghan Parliament has said that MPs have decided not to approve next year's budget unless the government introduces the remaining ministers and members of the High Court and Attorney General.
Some of the MPs believe that even if the budget is approved, some ministers within Afghan cabinet are not competent enough to spend it properly.

The Afghan Civil Society Forum also criticized this week and said that the government may not introduce the remaining cabinet members even by the end of the announced deadline.

Head of the Afghan Civil Society Forum, Azizullah Rafie, said that despite several promises by the government, the remaining cabinet members have not been introduced to the Afghan Parliament to win vote of confidence.

1- Obaidullah Obaid, Minister of Higher Education.
