Al-Armomenti Demands Transparency on Deputies' Administrative Changes
The head of the Nation Party's parliamentary bloc, Deputy Saleh Al-Armouti, criticized the Local Administration Law Draft Law of 2026, considering it a threat to the independence of municipalities and democratic life in Jordan. He pointed out that reducing the number of municipalities undermines the core of democratic work and contradicts the recommendations of the Royal Committee, which called for ongoing elections and empowering the people to exercise their rights. Al-Armouti also emphasized his rejection of appointments in local councils, affirming that municipalities are community institutions with financial and administrative independence, and that their representatives should be elected by the people. He criticized the renaming of "municipalities" and their integration into the Local Administration Law, viewing this as a violation of national heritage. He called on the Committee Chairperson to clarify information regarding the approval of legal provisions that differ from the original draft, stressing the importance of respecting constitutional frameworks and the will of the people.
