House Approves Local Administration Bill
The Parliament approved 35 articles of the Local Administration Law Draft for 2026, which includes 70 articles in total, aimed at regulating the powers and expansions of municipalities, enhancing their resources, and managing their projects in a more flexible and equitable manner. The articles addressed topics such as classifying municipalities into three categories, expanding or modifying their boundaries based on demographic composition and financial impact, as well as establishing the Building Regulation Committee and recording municipal immovable assets. They also focused on adjusting revenue collection mechanisms, emphasizing that municipalities will not resort to outsourcing routine fee collection to external companies, but only involve the private sector in projects that require such participation. Additionally, Members of Parliament discussed the municipality’s responsibility for costs related to paving and maintaining roads, with a commitment from local governments to address damages caused by rain or landslides without burdening citizens, ensuring fairness. The discussions continue as they work to complete the remaining articles.
