SURKHET, Jan 27: In the four-point agreement reached between the two parties before the formation of a new government, the ruling CPN-UML and the CPN (Maoist Center) had agreed to reduce the number of ministries to seven. It took two weeks for the Council of Ministers to fulfill the pledges made in the agreement due to the delay in implementing the agreement to remove one ministry from the existing eight.
