Senate Committee Okays Local Governance Bill
The Administrative Committee in the Senate approved the Local Governance Law for 2026, which had previously been approved by the House of Representatives. The law aims to enhance decentralization and develop local resources, including establishing a Governorate Council with legal personality and financial and administrative independence, ensuring that women are represented with no less than 30%. The law mandates the formulation of comprehensive development plans for the governorates and calls for conducting municipal council elections within a year if they are dissolved. It also emphasizes strengthening transparency and accountability in developmental spending.
