The Cabinet approved a bill adding an article to the local administration law that authorizes the Prime Minister upon a suggestion from the Local Administration Ministry to discharge the head of council of an administrative unit such as a city, town, municipality, or governorate, which would be carried out if such an executive is proven to have committed infringements or actions that harm the administrative unit.
