According to Maoist Center's spokesperson Pampha Bhusal the prime
minister's party will get the energy, education, communications, law and
justice, and local development among other portfolios.
"We will finalize the ministers for the remaining ministries within few
days after holding discussions within the party," Bhusal told Republica.
The NC, which is the largest party in parliament, will get foreign
affairs, defense, general administration, tourism, forest, labor,
health, urban development, drinking water and sanitation, and peace and
reconstruction portfolios.
The two parties have set aside other ministries including the ministry
of commerce and supply; land reforms; women, children and social
welfare; science and technology; and the ministry of industry for other
fringe parties in the ruling coalition.
Dispute in NC
Though the prime minister and NC leaders had earlier planned to include
some more ministers from the NC during the oath taking ceremony, two NC
leaders -- Shekhar Koirala and Arjun Narasingh KC -- refused to join the
government on Thursday.
