AMMAN —
Chairman of the capital governorate council, Ahmad Al-Abdalat, said on Sunday
that the decentralization law will give citizens agency to set their priorities
and needs, ensure an equitable distribution of development gains across the
Kingdom, and serve people and the society by providing better healthcare,
education and better services in
Amman, which “are among the most important
reasons that made me proceed with it”, according to Al-Mamlaka TV.

Abdalat added that “we are asking for legal
amendments; to that end, a legal committee will be formed in the capital
council, and a full draft of an amendment will be submitted”.
“The task of the provincial council members used to
be only approving the budget, so we asked for legal amendments, and some
important amendments were made, which improved the standing of the provincial
council,” he added.
He pointed out that a member of the provincial
council is currently preparing, and approving or rejecting the budget by-law.
Irbid Governorate Council Chairman Khaldoun Bani Hani said
that the new law is “modern and serves all segments and institutions of the
governorate, in general”, adding that “the budget is not determined by the
provincial council, but rather comes to us from the general budget, with a
specific cap”.
