Al-Freihat Calls for More Debate on Governance Law
The Local Administration Law Project for 2026 aims to improve the performance of municipal councils and strengthen public participation, while enhancing the independence of municipalities and expanding the powers of mayors and municipal councils. During the discussion within the parliamentary committee, there was a divergence of views regarding the transition from direct elections to sectoral representation, with some members opposing this shift out of concern that it might reduce public participation. The government, on the other hand, considers it necessary to address violations within the provincial councils. The project also promotes ensuring more effective oversight, reducing government intervention in dissolving municipal councils, and sets a timeframe for holding elections after dissolution, ranging from six months to a year. The law aims to modernize the administrative and supervisory structure, with a focus on institutional work and transparency. The final approval of the law remains in the hands of the House of Representatives.
