Parliament Limits Municipal Dissolutions
For the first time in the history of local administration laws and municipalities, the Parliamentary Administrative Committee has prevented the Council of Ministers from dissolving municipal councils and has limited the government's authority to a specific timeframe until August 13, 2026. The amendments include rephrasing provisions related to the municipality director to ensure that the ministry or elected councils do not overreach, and to appoint the director through the Public Service Commission instead of direct intervention from the ministry or the municipal council. Additionally, the committee has strengthened the powers of the mayor, making their role more supervisory, overseeing all municipal plans, with an emphasis on public participation and the use of modern data in development planning. The amendments also aim to reduce government interference in the appointment of council members, promote greater accountability across all relevant entities involved in municipal work, and improve governance, community participation, and reduce financial burdens on citizens. The ultimate goal is to ensure that citizens have a direct impact on enhancing the quality of services and local development.
