PESHAWAR, Nov 18: A major expansion in the NWFP caretaker cabinet will take place as new ministers are likely to take oath on Monday at the Governor’s House, official sources said.

Officials said 10 ministers would take oath, taking the number of cabinet members to 15, but their names were not announced.

It will be the third phase of induction in the cabinet headed by caretaker Chief Minister Shamsul Mulk.

Shehzada Mohammad Gustasap, Mohammad Ali Shah Bacha, Bukht Baidar and Azam Khan had taken oath on Oct 24, whereas Mian Muhammad Ajmal was sworn in a few days later.
