cabinet expansion

A cabinet expansion is a constitutional maneuver by the President to increase the number of ministries or ministerial roles, typically aimed at improving administrative efficiency, addressing emerging national priorities, or balancing political and regional representation.

For example, a President might expand the cabinet by splitting a massive portfolio—such as dividing a combined Ministry of Works, Transport, and Communication into separate ministries—or by creating new, specialized portfolios, like a dedicated Ministry of Investment, to provide hyper-focused leadership on specific economic goals.
