It is mandated to include the following positions : the President of Namibia, the Prime Minister of Namibia and any positions that the President so appoints. All cabinet members also sit in the National Assembly. This situation has been criticised by Namibia 's civil society and the opposition as creating a significant overlap between executive and legislature, undermining the separation of powers. The seniority of cabinet members generally relegate ordinary MPs to the back benches. Contents 1 Lists of Cabinets of Namibia 1.1 Current Cabinet ( 2015 -- ) 1.2 2010 -- 2015 1.3 2005 -- 2010 2 References 2.1 Notes 2.2 Literature Lists of cabinets of Namibia Current Cabinet ( 2015 -- ) The current Cabinet was announced on 19 March 2015. The position of Vice-President was established for the first time, as well as five ministries with two Deputy Ministers each. While the deputies are not Cabinet members their double appointments still significantly increased the number of top positions in public administration. A major Cabinet reshuffle occurred in February 2018 when two ministers were fired, the vice president retired on health grounds, and several other rotations took place. In the wake of the February Cabinet reshuffle the number of deputy ministers was reduced again to one per ministry, with the Office of the Vice-President the only exception. This move was announced as a cost - cutting measure.
