security were left to the discretion of the governor. The governor was only required to keep the
Executive Council informed of his actions in these regards, not to consult with them before acting. However, in those areas in which consultation was required it placed stricter limits on the governor's ability to act against the advice of the Executive Council. Specifically, the governor had to give thirty days advance notice to the Executive Council that he or she would act against its advice, and also had to obtain the consent of the secretary of state. An exception was given for cases demanding urgent action, but even then the governor would have to explain himself in writing to the secretary of state afterwards.

disciplinary action regarding public officers. Furthermore, the governor is not obliged to act in accordance with the advice of the
Cabinet, and the governor is excused from the obligation to consult the Cabinet in cases of public interest or urgent requirement to act.

The 2006 Constitution came in for criticism by the 2008 Commission of
Inquiry which investigated corruption among members of the House of Assembly. The commission specifically pointed to the fact that, when compared to the 1988 Constitution, the 2006 Constitution gave cabinet ministers too much

The 2006 Constitution made three changes to this structure. First, it replaced the chief minister with the premier. It further removed the chief secretary and financial secretary as ex officio members, instead giving the governor the power to appoint six ministers (among whom one the governor
