Cabinet of Pakistan

The Cabinet of Pakistan (Urdu: ‫ﮐﺎﺑﯿﻨﮧ‬

‫ﭘﺎﮐﺴﺘﺎن‬, Kābīnā-e-Pākistān) is a formal
body composed of senior government
officials chosen and led by the Prime
Minister.[1] All cabinet members sworn in
are designated Minister, and are seated at
their respective ministries located in the
Pakistan Secretariat.

The Cabinet Secretary of Pakistan serves

as the administrative head of the Cabinet
Division and reports directly to the Prime
Minister.[2] According to the Constitution
of Pakistan, the Prime Minister may
dismiss members of the cabinet, but must
do so in writing, and new appointees must
again be approved by the Parliament. The
cabinet meets weekly in Islamabad. The
cabinet is granted constitutional power
under Article 81D of the Constitution of
Pakistan.[3] The existence of the cabinet
dates back to Prime Minister Liaqat Ali
Khan, who appointed civil servants and
statesmen to his first cabinet.

Constitutional powers

There shall be a Cabinet of

Ministers, with the Prime
Minister at its head, to aid and
advise the President in the
exercise of his functions. The
Cabinet, together with the
Ministers of State, shall be
collectively responsible to the
Senate and the National
Assembly. A Minister who for
any period of six consecutive
months is not a member of the
National Assembly shall, at the
expiration of that period, cease
to be a Minister and shall not
before the dissolution of that
Assembly be again appointed a
Minister unless he is elected a
member of that Assembly:
Provided that nothing in this
clause shall apply to a Minister
who is a member of the Senate.
Provided that the number of
Federal Ministers and Ministers
of State who are members of the
Senate shall not at any time
 exceed one-fourth of the number
of Federal Ministers
