Relationship evidence and review
Ministerial appointment is by the President after the Senate confirms the nomination.
Official 2026 records apply presidential ministerial appointment/portfolio powers and Senate confirmation. Appointment and function assignment remain different from reporting.
2026 official executive and parliamentary events corroborate operation of the powers stated in the older legal text. These events do not replace a fully consolidated constitution.
Use source-attributed legal/institutional wording. No complete amendment-history audit, de facto compliance finding, current incumbent certification or automatic edge promotion.
Applicability checked 17 Sept 2026. This is not the provision’s effective date.
Senate confirmation must remain an appointment condition.
