E-state Ministers have a double role — on the one hand they represent the interests of a ministry in the government, on the other they head the ministries, following in their work the political decisions adopted by the government.
Ministritel on kanda topeltroll — ühelt poolt esindavad nad ministeeriumi huve valitsuses, teiselt poolt juhivad ministeeriume, lähtudes valitsuse vastu võetud poliitilistest otsustest.
