This is an issue that needs to be clarified right from the construction process to limit conflicts, overlaps and obstacles that may arise in practice.
Referring to administrative procedures and internal procedures, the Deputy Minister emphasized that promoting decentralization and delegation of power must be linked to a mechanism to ensure uniformity in implementation.
