KABUL, June 18 Kyodo

Afghan leader Hamid Karzai told the country's grand assembly Tuesday that he will announce his just discovered cabinet Wednesday, saying he penurys more time to decide the number of posts

''If you want a beneficial cabinet, you should give me the same more day,'' he told the 1650 delegates to the grand assembly, or loya jirga, which has already been dilateed two days.

Karzai, whom the loya jirga make choice ofed president of an 18-month transitional dominion Thursday last week, said he will at hand his list of cabinet members after the assembly reconvene at 5 pm Wednesday.

The council is being conven subordinate to the U.N.-brokered Bonn accord that calls for a ''broad-based'' transitional conduct meaning the loya jirga could highlight demands from the country's dominant ethnic clump the Pashtuns, for a larger share of power in government

The transitional regulation will take over from the interim administration launched Dec 22 last year to lay the groundwork for rebuilding the shattered nation after 23 years of war and destruction.
