 The Office of the President, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is charged with the responsibility of public administration, internal security, printing of Government documents , Immigration and Registration of Persons, Betting Control Probation Services, Prison Services and championing campaign against drug and substance abuse. The Ministry also coordinates state functions and offers reception services to all Government ministries.

The Ministry’s functions have evolved and its operations restructured over time to address emerging issues. However, it has remained decentralized to the grassroots in order to provide a framework for quick interpretation, dissemination and implementation of Government policies. Currently the Ministry oversees the administration, development and security of 8 Provinces, 287 Districts, 476 Divisions, 2,516 Locations and 6,841 sub locations as well as other administrative officers seconded to line Ministries.
