Regional commissioners, county commissioners, and deputy county commissioners typically preside over security meetings and other national administration issues.
The previous provincial administration was restructured to accommodate the new commissioners.
This followed the adoption of the 2010 constitution. In the new system, Regional Commissioners took the place of Provincial Commissioners.
They chair and coordinate national government issues in their regions, including security concerns.
National Administration is a department within the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government.
The department’s staff comprises 12,575 individuals, including eight regional coordinators, 47 county commissioners, 289 deputy county commissioners, 831 assistant county commissioners, 3,256 chiefs, and 8,145 assistant chiefs.
