The mai objective of this restructuring is to transform small and scattered ministries into larger and integrated bodies. Under the proposed plan, the separate existence of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Water Supply, the Ministry of Urban Development, and the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration will end. Their areas of responsibility will be adjusted into other ministries, and some important departments are being prepared to be brought under the Office of the Prime Minister.
