 The Ministers have the powers and duties as designated by the law and as authorised by the Cabinet or Prime Minister.

The end of the membership of a Member of the National Legislative Assembly according to section 6 does not affect the public administration of the State by the Cabinet and the holding of positions of Prime Minister and Ministers.

When it is urgently necessary to maintain the security of the Kingdom or avert a public disaster, or when it is necessary to have a law relating to taxation or currency, the Monarch wields the prerogative to enact an emergency decree to be applied as an act.

Upon promulgation of an emergency decree, the Cabinet shall introduce the emergency decree to the National Legislative Assembly without delay. If approved by the National Legislative Assembly, the emergency decree shall continue to be in force as an act. If disapproved by the National Legislative Assembly, the emergency decree shall lapse, but this does not affect the affairs which took place during the application of such emergency decree.

Approval or disapproval of an emergency decree shall be published in the Royal Gazette. In the event of disapproval, it shall take effect from the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette.
