House debates local admin law amendments
The House of Representatives' Management Committee discussed the Local Administration Law for 2026, which includes 70 articles. The law aims to strengthen governance, expand the developmental role of municipalities, increase the representation of women and youth, and stimulate partnerships with the private sector. The amendments outlined clarified the responsibilities of the municipal council and the executive body, increased women's representation to 30%, allocated a seat for women in the executive office, and involved youth under 30 years old. The law also focused on improving oversight, developing urban planning, supporting digital transformation, and raising the municipalities' share of capital expenditure to 16%. Its goal is to promote local development through joint projects and measures to enhance integrity, alongside encouraging private sector participation, directing projects based on the needs of less developed areas, and improving the administrative and financial performance of councils.
