House discusses Local Governance Bill
The House of Representatives discussed the Local Administration Bill for 2026, which includes updating and developing the roles of municipalities and provincial councils, aiming to connect local governance with development, enhance community participation, and promote accountability. The project focuses on shifting municipalities from traditional service roles to developmental and investment-oriented roles, with clear powers assigned to the municipal council and executive body to improve efficiency and transparency. The law also includes measures to strengthen direct electoral democracy, appoint an executive director for the municipality, and establish provincial councils composed of elected representatives, all with the goal of improving service quality and stimulating the local economy in the provinces. Based on this, the government has decided to formalize the employment of around 6,000 on-call workers in municipalities to improve performance and the services provided to citizens.
