Responsibility of Ministers

Ministers are collectively responsible to the state legislative assembly for the actions of the government. This means that all ministers must work together and support each other in decision-making. If the government fails in its duties, the entire council may be held accountable, and this can lead to a vote of no confidence.

In simple language, the responsibility of ministers ensures that they are answerable to the people through the legislature. This system promotes transparency and encourages ministers to work efficiently for the welfare of the state. For example, when state policies face public criticism, the collective responsibility of the council ensures that corrective measures are taken promptly.

This principle is key to maintaining a healthy and accountable state government.
