The Governor of each region, and his Vice-Governor, must take the following oath in the presence of the King before taking office:
I swear, in the Name of God the Almighty, to remain sincere to my religion, to my King and my nation, and not to reveal any secret of my nation, and to preserve its interests, its regulations and to perform my duties truly, honestly, sincerely and justly.
The primary objective of the Governor and his staff is to administer the region in line with the public policy of the State and the regulations of the system. The maintenance of public security, order and stability, and the guaranteeing of individual rights and freedoms within the framework of the Shariah and the governmental regulations are given a high priority, alongside a commitment to the social and economic development of the region.
