Members of President Hamid Karzai's Cabinet
President Hamid Karzai submitted the nominees for his
current cabinet on December 19, 2009, however, many of them
were rejected by the Afghan parliament (Wolesi Jirga).
On June 26, 2010, President Karzai submitted the names of 7
more cabinet nominees to the parliament. Out of the 7
submitted, 5 were approved and 2 were rejected. So far, 7 of
the 25 positions in Karzai's cabinet are unfilled. Below you will find both the approved and
acting ministers. President Karzai also needs to appoint a
new head of Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS), since
the former head of the spy agency, Amrullah Saleh, resigned
along with Hanif Atmar (former Minister of the Interior) on
June 6, 2010.
