According to the Constitution, "Government business shall be dealt with partly on a collegial basis and party on a portfolio basis". The most important responsibility of each Minister is to participate in the Government and the Administration of the country, in the framework of the Government meetings. Each Minister is assigned certain responsibilities by portfolio. These responsibilities include the preparation and supervision of individual Government tasks.

Government business is currently divided among 15 Ministries. Once a new Government is formed, Ministries are distributed according to a portfolio schedule. The assignment of responsibilities is concurrent with the assignment of Government offices, Commissions, and Advisory Councils. The Ministers issue instructions and are the supervisors of the civil servants and Government employees.
