Karachi (HRNW) The Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P) handed over the recommended draft of the Sindh Local Government Act (SLGA) 2013 to the leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
The 150-page amended draft recommended amendments in SLGA 2013 under Article 140-A of the Constitution. The Supreme Court already directed the Sindh government to amend SLGA-2013 as per Article 140-A.
It wants administrative and financial powers of all civic departments (KMC and DMCs), administration authorities (SBCA, KDA, MDA, LDA and SMPA) and utility boards (Sindh Solid Waste Management Board and Karachi Water & Sewerage Board) under the direct control of the mayor.
Talking to media, the MQM-P leader, Rehan Hashmi, confirmed that the party leadership has prepared its recommendations in terms of bringing change in SLGA-2013. The prepared draft has been sent to the PPP leadership for further proceedings.
The MQM-P has prepared an amended draft under Article 140-A, adding the devolution of powers is a core concern of leadership.
Hashmi said MQM-P filed the petition against SLGA-2013 in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2013 and 2017.
