Will the present Local Government Reform Bill give the nation's 14 Municipal Corporations more authority to execute their own plans and projects?

The Opposition says no and that it will just give the Finance Minister more control over Local Government.

The Government says the bill will give the Local Government bodies "the ability to execute their owns plans and programmes without interference from Central Government."

Both sides had their say during a debate in the Parliament on the matter.
