Official Gazette: New decree on municipal councils

A new decree has been issued in Tunisia to organize municipal councils and define their responsibilities, aiming to enhance their independence and improve local governance. The decree stipulates that the municipal council consists of a president, assistants, and members, with four annual sessions scheduled for February, May, July, and November, along with the possibility of holding extraordinary sessions when necessary. Citizens are granted the right to participate through a preliminary session before each meeting and public sessions, ensuring transparency in the council's deliberations and decisions. The decree covers responsibilities such as preparing the budget, managing assets, urban development, sanitation, roads, and municipal markets. It also allows the governor to oversee the council’s work and intervene if there are oversteps of authority or violations. Additionally, the decree mandates the dissolution of the council if the budget is not approved before the end of March. It incorporates new provisions related to administrative organization, financial systems, land ownership, as well as regulations for resolving disputes and facilitating amicable settlements. The decree will come into effect after the municipal elections, with a commitment to establishing new accounting systems by 2030 and 2032, respectively, and revokes the previous law related to the Local Communities Code.
