MPs Angry as 7 Ministries, Central Bank Still Run by Caretakers Seven ministries and the Central Bank are still being run by caretakers--acting leaders unconfirmed by Parliament--over the last eight months. Despite promises, the government so far has not made any attempt to introduce new faces to the institutions. The issue was widely debated in the Parliament on Monday as Speaker Mir Rahman Rahmani said the continuation of the caretaking trend will affect the government’s legitimacy. Other MPs said that in recent days, figures close to the president have been appointed to different institutions and directorates, but the government is intentionally delaying responses to the lawmakers’ demands for the introduction of new nominees for the ministries.
