House approves Local Administration Law
The Jordanian House of Representatives approved the abolition of elected Provincial Councils and their replacement with representative councils composed of members representing municipal, syndicate, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and community sectors, in accordance with the new Local Administration Law. The law includes the formation of a Provincial Council in each governorate, which possesses legal personality and financial and administrative independence. It comprises members from the municipal council, deputies representing specific areas such as Aqaba and Ma'an, as well as representatives from trade unions, associations, youth, and women's organizations, with a minimum of 30% female representation. The council's term is four years, renewable. The law aims to enhance representation and specialization in governorate management and to encourage participation from various sectors.
