The people’s administrative power and democratic regime

The executive branch, formerly called the Council of Ministers, is now known as the government. It has 14 ministries:

Agriculture and Forestry; Industry and Commerce, Transport and Public Works, Education; Finance; Foreign Affairs, Energy and Mining; Information and Culture; Public Security; Justice; Labour and Social Welfare; National Defence; Public Health and Planning and Investment.

The local administration has been reduced to three levels: the provincial and prefectural, the district and village level (the tasseng level has been scrapped).

The administration is run by the province governors, and the municipality by a mayor; each district has a chief administrator, and each village a chief. Currently there are 16 provinces, and one capital administration.

The judicial branch has been streamlined and for better functioning.

The Bar Association has been created, and sector staff numbers increased considerably, to ensure social justice./.
