Regional, county, and deputy county commissioners typically oversee security meetings and other national administration responsibilities.
The previous provincial administration was reorganized to integrate the new commissioner roles.
This restructuring was a result of the 2010 constitution, which replaced Provincial Commissioners with Regional Commissioners (RCs) who now manage and coordinate national government matters in their areas, including security.
The National Administration, a department within the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, employs 12,575 staff members. This includes eight regional coordinators, 47 county commissioners, 289 deputy county commissioners, 831 assistant county commissioners, 3,256 chiefs, and 8,145 assistant chiefs.
