MPs debate Local Governance Law changes
The Local Administration Law Project for 2026 aims to improve governance of municipalities and governorate councils through broad amendments related to oversight, participation, and funding. The law focuses on strengthening the developmental role of municipalities, increasing women's representation to 30%, and engaging youth under the age of 35. It also seeks to organize the relationship between elected councils and executive bodies. Among the most important changes are restricting the government's authority to dissolve councils and appointing the executive director based on competence. Additionally, 16% of the state's capital budget will be allocated to support developmental projects and improve services. The law emphasizes digital transformation and transparency by requiring the publication of performance reports. It represents a significant step towards boosting the local economy, enhancing community participation, and distributing projects more fairly in underdeveloped areas.
