The government has directed ministries to implement a cabinet decision from April 15, 2026, that expands the size of ministerial advisory teams. Under the revised rules, each minister may appoint between three and five advisers and maintain a personal secretariat of up to nine members.
The directive reverses an earlier decision that had placed tighter limits on such appointments. The circular was issued for implementation on June 24, 2026, making the change active across government ministries.
