villages. There are two types of governorates   governorates that are divided into urban 
quarters, and complex governorates (multiple cities governorate), which are divided into 
cities and villages (Markazes) or urban quarters (Hais). 
2.3.3.1  Governor's Authority 
The present Local Administration Law (Law No. 43 of 1979) designates the governor as the 
representative of the executive authority of the government at the governorate. According 
to this Law, the governor supervises the execution of general policy of the State. He has full 
authority over all service and production units, departments and directorates (line agencies 
of central ministries in governorates), as well as public utilities that fall within the 
jurisdiction of the governorate. 
The position of the governor is, no doubt, crucial to the implementation of the general 
policy of the State and thus the governor is appointed directly by a Presidential Decree. As 
for major functions and responsibilities, besides what already mentioned, the Red Sea 
Governor is responsible for: 
    
Promoting tourism while protecting the environment 
    
Maintaining public security 
    
General supervision over public utilities and agencies 
The governor assumes all the executive authorities and functions entitled to ministers by 
laws and regulations in relation to all public utilities that fall within the jurisdiction of local 
administration units. 
The governor's jurisdiction and authority regarding personnel working at local 
administration units are: 
    
Personnel in departments whose functions have been transferred to local units within 
the governorate: The governor's authority equals that of a minister in charge. 
    
Personnel working in branches of ministries and agencies whose functions not been 
transferred to local units (with the exception of justice personnel):  The governor has the 
following functions: 
    
Suggestion of transfer of any public employee outside the governorate.  
    
Submittal of his view concerning promotion and transfer of public employees in the 
governorate prior to making decisions by the concerned authority. 
    
Demanding interrogation and infliction of negative sanctions within the limits of a 
minister's authority. 
    
Requesting interrogation of employees of public agencies working within the 
governorate's jurisdiction and suggesting the necessary sanction to the entity 
concerned. 
According to Article 27 of the present Local Administration Law, ministries in Cairo may 
delegate additional functions to the governor if they so deem proper. The governor also has 
specific functions assigned to a minister in general and the Minister of Finance in particular 
concerning the financial and administrative affairs in relation to utilities transferred to the 
local units, their agencies and budget, without contradicting the general instructions 
attached to the State's General Budget.
