The Libyan Presidential Council of the Government of National Accord (GNA) has allocated 2 billion dinars for the expenditures of municipalities to cover development and other projects across the country.

The Presidential Council said Tuesday the 2 billion would be split as 30% would go to the second chapter of municipal laws and 70% would go to the third, while the Ministry of Local Governing and General Authority of High Council for Local Administration would manage the expenditures.

The media office of the Head of the Presidential Council Fayez Al-Sarraj said this step is in the direction of activating local governance to enable municipalities to provide better services to people.

The Presidential Council has also adopted the chapter of local revenue that would organize collecting local tariffs and fees.
