Figure 8. Structure of the National Government, 1991
Under the Constitution, the government is divided into
executive, legislative, and judicial departments. The separation
of powers is based on the theory of checks and balances. The
presidency is not as strong as it was under the 1973
constitution. Local governments are subordinated to the national
government
(see
fig. 8).
Data as of June 1991
