Administrative Committee Approves Local Governance Draft
The Management Committee in the House of Representatives approved the Local Governance Bill with its amendments, aimed at strengthening local administration, improving the quality of services, expanding community participation, and enabling municipalities to undertake development and investment roles to boost the local economy. The project includes clearly defining responsibilities between the municipal council and the executive body to prevent overlapping authorities, while maintaining the direct and secret election of the council president and members. Additionally, the law seeks to enhance transparency through automation and regular reporting, increase municipalities' share of capital expenditure to 16%, and raise the minimum age for mayoral candidacy from 22 to 25 years. The discussion is scheduled to begin in the House of Representatives next week.
