Proposals for Amending the 2013 Constitution Concerning the Powers of Certain/ State Agencies

Abstract

The authority of state agencies and of public offices within those agencies indicates the limits of rights and obligations that must be exercised in the performance of their functions. The powers of state agencies and public offices are specifically stipulated in the 2013 Constitution (amended in 2025). In general, the 2013 Constitution establishes a relatively reasonable allocation of powers, aiming to ensure that no important tasks are omitted and no tasks are assigned in a contradictory or overlapping manner. However, several provisions regarding the authority of state agencies and public offices remain inconsistent in the 2013 Constitution. This article analyses the provisions of the 2013 Constitution concerning the authority of state agencies and public offices, and proposes directions for improvement.
