Number of regions in Saudi to be increased from 13 to 18
Moves are under way to increase the number of regions in Saudi Arabia from 13 to 18 and give more powers to regional governors as part of administrative reforms, Arab News daily reported. The Ministerial Committee for Administrative Reforms has already completed studies on the issue of new regions and widening the powers of regional governors. Sources said that every regional governor will have full powers as there will be no need to refer back to the Interior Ministry, except in case of major issues, and this is intended to control the bureaucracy."But that's impossible. How will the Emperor King maintain control without the bureaucracy? "
"The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line." |
As per the new plan, the greater Riyadh region will be divided into three regions, Riyadh, Sudair and Dawadmi, two more regions will be formed in the Northern Province and one new region in the Southern Province. The northern border city of Gurayat is likely to become a new region. | No word yet on the fate of Alderaan. |
