House replaces Provincial Councils
The Jordanian Parliament's House of Representatives approved a law yesterday, Wednesday, abolishing the elected Provincial Councils and replacing them with Provincial Boards composed of representatives from municipalities, trade unions, and economic and social sectors. The aim is to strengthen the administrative and financial independence of the provinces. The Provincial Board consists of representatives from local, professional, and trade union entities, including youth and people with disabilities, with a minimum of 30% of the members being from these groups. The term of the board is set at four years. The law's goal is to improve local governance and enhance the participation of various societal groups in decision-making at the provincial level.
