Abstract:
The notion of prefect comes from Latin, where it means the one who was put in charge ... and he was an
official from ancient Rome who was appointed by the state in a precise position with well-defined attributions. In
our country, a prefect is the government's representative at the county level, and the institution led by him is
called the prefecture and has the role of fulfilling the duties and prerogatives conferred on the prefect by the
Romanian Constitution and the Administrative Code.
In a democratic state, the institution of the prefect must be particularized by the existence of a statute,
which will ensure the fulfillment of his role professionally and within apolitical limits.
