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 .

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 .
