AMMAN - A bachelor's degree could be the minimum requirement for candidates wishing to run as mayors of the Kingdom's main cities under a new municipalities law currently being drafted by the government, a senior official said on Thursday.
The ministerial committee entrusted with examining a new version of the Municipalities Law is studying a proposal to make a bachelor's degree a basic requirement for mayoral hopefuls in major municipalities, Minister of Municipal Affairs Hazem Qashou told The Jordan Times over the phone yesterday.
"No final decision has been taken yet over the new provision, which seeks to improve the performance of municipalities and empower them with competent administrators," the minister said.
Qashou explained that mayors of major municipalities are expected to draw up strategies, follow up on administrative matters, read charts and draw up master plans; thus they need to be at least bachelor's degree holders, regardless of their majors.
The minister also explained that the decision, once approved, will only apply to mayoral positions in municipalities in cities and towns, not the municipal councils affiliated with them, where education levels will not be a prerequisite for candidacy.
"Those who make it to the municipal councils are not necessarily the most qualified; that is why the provision has been proposed to make competence the basis of elections and not any other considerations," Qashou said.
In addition, the ministry has proposed the appointment of executive directors at each municipality tasked with preparing job descriptions and field surveys, drawing up executive plans and taking care of all technical issues, he pointed out.
"It is hoped that the ministerial committee will approve this proposal and make it part of the new municipalities law," he said.
Qashou noted that the committee is scheduled to refer its recommendations to Cabinet by June 1.
In previous remarks to The Jordan Times, the minister said municipal elections are expected to be held on September 15, and will be based on the new law that will have to go through legislative and constitutional channels.
He also noted that the new law will focus on distributing development gains evenly and upgrading the quality of services offered to citizens.
