According to Press TV, Ghani issued the list on Saturday, shortly before departing for the United States with Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah.
The new list is submitted nearly two months after the parliament disapproved two thirds of the proposed ministers.
The lower house of parliament has not approved the 16 nominees yet.
There are four women included in the list, along with proposed names for several key portfolios, including the ministries of economy, trade and industry, and agriculture.
However, just as “fighting season” between Afghan security forces and the Taliban militants begins, no name for the crucial defense ministry’s head has been proposed. Currently, an interim minister is holding the position.
In January, President Ghani unveiled and presented his full list of cabinet nominees to the parliament for a vote of confidence, after a long delay, over 100 days after he was sworn in on September 29, 2014.
