Government in Saudi Arabia

Government in Saudi Arabia

In late 1993 King Fahd divided Saudi Arabia in 14 different provinces. He also created a way for him to communicate with them all by appointing governers for each province.   He is also assisted by a provincial council, which is composed of the heads of the province’s government departments. 

 In August 1993, King Fahd restructured the Majlis Al-Shura (national consultative council) to make it more efficient. In 1997 this expanded to 90 people. The main goal for them is to enforce some laws that they have made.
