The Legislative Chamber at its today’s session reviewed and approved candidates for membership in the Cabinet of Ministers, the press service of the lower house of parliament said.
According to the new Constitution, the list of 24 candidates was presented by the president (previously, candidates were presented by the prime minister).
The candidates were preliminarily reviewed in the relevant committees of the Legislative Chamber, and then in the factions of five political parties.
According to the press service, the MPs underscored "the importance of more effective interaction between the government and the Legislative Chamber in achieving the priority goals outlined in the speech of the head of state at the meeting devoted to considering the candidacy for the post of prime minister."
A little later, the presidential press service posted a decree confirming the ministers approved by the lower house to their posts. The current composition of deputy prime ministers and ministers did not change.
