Al-Sadiq advises Beirut Municipality reform
The article points out that the current form of Beirut Municipality can no longer sustain itself, as the municipal council suffers from discord and sectarian conflicts. This has led to the cessation of most services and a decline in the level of municipal work. MP Wodah Al-Sadiq proposes a plan that involves dividing the city into four elected local councils with regulatory powers and subject to local oversight, aimed at developing city management and improving its operations. The plan maintains the current powers of the governor and abolishes the central executive authority in Beirut. The article also discusses calls for a general amnesty that includes the release of prisoners, although there are disagreements within the Parliament on this matter. Proposed amendments face opposition, and the majority of imprisoned Islamists remain detained.
