(cabinet) under scrutiny
A literal translation will get you nowhere with this. The reference is to the notices being sent to parliament about the various ongoing corruption investigations concerning its members. The implication is that everyone on the cabinet is subject to investigation for corruption.
I would propose 'cabinet under scrutiny' as an idiomatic rendering for 'fezleke kabinesi', but there may be something better out there.
