Al-Masry: Citizens to cover up to 25% of paving costs
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Local Administration, Walid Al-Masri, confirmed that the state bears 50% of the costs for road paving and retaining walls. The percentage that property owners adjacent to these works are asked to pay does not exceed 25% per side, while current contributions range between 30% and 40%. He explained that the costs of retaining walls are distributed across the entire road, and the legal provision prevents repeatedly requesting amounts from property owners after they've paid them during the construction of the road, with the exception of rural roads connecting one village to another. He emphasized that the current amendments to the Local Administration Law aim to achieve justice and improve the performance of municipalities, without introducing a new principle, and that discussions on the law's articles are still ongoing in Parliament.
