The government has significantly increased the number of ministerial advisors and personal secretariat staff, reversing a previous policy aimed at reducing these appointments. New regulations now allow for a total of up to 57 advisors and 153 secretariat personnel across all ministries. This represents a substantial expansion of support staff available to cabinet members. The move signals a shift away from austerity measures implemented earlier, with critics questioning the rationale behind increasing costs at a time of economic pressure. Details regarding the specific allocation of these positions to individual ministries have not yet been released. The change is expected to provide ministers with increased capacity for policy development and administrative support. It remains to be seen how this expansion will impact government efficiency and transparency.
