TL;DRA bill to limit a minister to heading only one ministry, except for the Prime Minister.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a section to Basic Law: The Government stating that each minister may be in charge of only one ministry. The only exception is the Prime Minister. The explanation of the bill argues that heading more than one ministry harms the functioning of the ministries, day-to-day work and the ability to invest full energy in each role, and also harms the service provided to citizens. The bill also notes concern about concentration of powers and possible conflicts of interest, as in the case of a finance minister who also heads another ministry.
