Each chief of the Ministerial Department administers within the limit of his powers the affairs which belong to his department.
Those which are beyond this limit he refers to the Grand Vizier.
The Grand Vizier attends to the reports which are addressed to him by the chiefs of the different departments either by referring them if necessary to the Council of Ministers and then presenting them for Imperial sanction, or in the contrary case in judging himself or submitting them to the decision of His Majesty the Sultan.
A special regulation shall determine these different categories of
affairs for each ministerial department.

ART. 31.
If one or more members of the Chamber of Deputies wish to complain
against a minister on account of his responsibility and for facts which the Chamber has right of taking cognizance of, the demand containing the complaint is remitted to the president, who sends it in three days to the bureau charged by virtue of the internal regulation with examining the complaint and deciding if there be any reason for submitting it to the deliberations of the Chamber.
The decision of the bureau is taken by majority of votes, after the
necessary information has been obtained and explanation furnished by
the minister accused.
If the bureau be of opinion that it should submit the complaint to the Chamber the report stating this decision is read in a public session, and the Chamber, after having heard the explanation of the accused Minister who is called to assist at the session, or of his delegate, votes by an absolute majority of two-thirds on the conclusions of the report.
In case of the adoption of these conclusions an address demanding the trial of the accused Minister is transmitted to the Grand Vizier, who submits it to the sanction of His Majesty the Sultan and remits it to the High Court by virtue of an Imperial Irade.
ART. 32.
A special law shall determine the procedure to be followed for the trial of Ministers.
