Parliament debates local governance
The article focused on discussing the Local Administration Law Project of 2026 in Jordan, which aims to enhance sector governance, link it to development, expand community participation, and improve the quality of services for citizens. The law addresses the reasons for updating the system and emphasizes that no additional financial burdens will be imposed. It highlights support for municipalities through reducing overlaps between authorities and improving resource management, such as paving revenues. The law also clarifies that the dissolution of municipal councils should only occur for compelling reasons, while maintaining the direct election of council heads by citizens. The project reinforces the role of the executive administration, broadens the powers of municipal heads, and establishes systems to ensure transparency and regular reporting, all with the goal of improving performance and developing local services.
