Attorney General Approves Administrative Powers Matrix for Public Prosecution Branch Heads

In a significant move towards administrative reform, the Attorney General, Dr. Khalid bin Mohammed Al-Yousef, has approved a comprehensive matrix of administrative powers for the heads of Public Prosecution branches throughout Saudi Arabia. This decision underscores a strategic commitment to decentralization and empowering regional leadership within the judicial system.

The newly delegated authorities encompass a wide range of administrative and financial responsibilities. These include enhanced supervisory roles, the formation of essential committees, the secondment of personnel, and the approval of various employee benefits such as bonuses and leaves. Crucially, the matrix also grants authority for procurement within defined financial limits, aiming to streamline operations and improve responsiveness at the local level.

This initiative reflects the Public Prosecution's dedication to fostering greater administrative flexibility and boosting institutional performance across its various branches. By entrusting more decision-making power to regional heads, the Public Prosecution seeks to accelerate operational workflows and ensure more efficient service delivery. The decision is set to remain in effect until September 30, 2026, signaling a sustained effort towards strengthening effective institutional governance.
