House OKs 12 Local Law Articles
The House of Representatives approved 12 articles of the Local Administration Law for 2026, which aims to transform the role of municipalities from traditional service functions to broader developmental and investment entities. The council discussed important definitions such as "resident," a person living within the municipality and benefiting from its services; "elector," who has the right to vote; and "entitled person," who is eligible to receive funds from the municipality. The discussion also covered the powers to determine unsafe areas and zones restricted from construction, with the Egyptian minister confirming that these matters fall under the jurisdiction of scientific and technical authorities. Final decisions are to be made based on scientific studies. The bill also emphasizes strengthening governance, accountability, and enhancing the developmental role of municipalities.
