Each district shall have a written constitution, encompassing the essential principles of the central constitution, particularly those regarding basic citizen rights, along with provisions specific to the district. This constitution must align with the state constitution and remain consistent with the central constitution. It aims to develop the district toward the level of the central government and serves as an initial step in this progression. The district constitution is subject to ongoing amendment through general referenda among district residents or the district legislative council.
The district constitution is the source of authority for its government. It establishes a legislative council responsible for enacting laws to facilitate the district’s steady progress. This council holds powers comparable to the state legislative council and functions as its extension. All residents of the district aged eighteen and above, men and women alike, participate in its elections.
Under this constitution, the district’s citizens elect a governor, who may be a local resident or, if deemed advantageous, an appointee from outside the district. The district governor serves as an assistant to the state governor, reporting to both the state governor and the people. The governor appoints deputies to assist in implementing their agenda, ensuring efficient management of key services such as education, health, agriculture, internal affairs, and finance. These deputies act as executive officers of the central government’s primary branches, supplemented by local services tailored to district needs.
The district governor’s primary focus is on directly improving the lives of residents, including facilitating settlement for nomads by providing water for them and their livestock, maintaining pastures, scientifically managing fodder for summer use, encouraging modern livestock farming, and improving livestock breeds. Without achieving such settlement, education and modernization, typically exclusive to city and village residents, cannot be realized. It goes without saying that education is the only means that eliminates differences, bridges customs, and works towards the unity of the people through a unified language. This is because education revives the Arabic language among citizens and diminishes or weakens local dialects.
Additionally, the district governor is tasked with developing natural resources, improving public health, and advancing political, social, artistic, and scientific awareness among residents.
Each district has its own judiciary modeled after the state judiciary. Appeals from district courts are heard by the state Supreme Court. The district judiciary operates independently under the supervision of a representative of the Chief Justice. Judges are nominated by the governor with the legislative council’s approval and appointed by the President of the Republic in consultation with the Chief Justice.
The district has an administrative court of justice and a constitutional court of justice. The rulings of each of these courts can be appealed to the corresponding courts at the state level, whose rulings, in turn, can be appealed to the corresponding courts at the central government level.
Each district has a civil service system that operates similarly to that of the state and central governments, and it is subject to the same considerations as those in the central government. Each district also has its own police force under the governor’s command, sufficient to maintain law and order.
