Each city also has a written constitution that guarantees fundamental rights and addresses the specific local issues of that city. However, it does not deviate from the central government’s constitution. To call it a "constitution" is somewhat of an overstatement, driven by our desire to harmonize the administrative structure from the base of the pyramid to its peak and to preserve uniformity in naming conventions and political education. In reality, it is more akin to a developmental program than a fully-fledged constitution.
The city constitution serves as the source of authority for its government. Under its provisions, a legislative council is elected to draft laws that ensure the city’s comprehensive development, providing its residents with all they need for progress and a fulfilling life. Citizens aged eighteen and above, both men and women, elect the city’s governor as well as its legislative council.
The governor appoints principal deputies who are accountable to the governor for implementing their development agenda for the city. The governor, in turn, is accountable to the city’s residents, who elected them. The city governor serves as an assistant to the district governor and, along with their deputies, is expected to function as an extension of central government officials responsible for education, health, trade, industry, and other key sectors.
The city government focuses on educating and enlightening its residents, elevating their standards of living, and involving them in governance through publicizing decisions, making judicial and legislative processes transparent, and using all means of education, particularly cinema. The government will also establish boys’ clubs, girl guides, scouting organizations, youth unions, and similar institutions, harnessing these organizations to promote education and a spirit of public service.
The city government must organize cultural, artistic, and commercial ties with nearby villages as well as other cities, both near and distant. Each city has its own courts, with judges nominated by the governor and appointed by the President of the Republic in consultation with the Chief Justice. Major cities may have high courts to oversee their judiciary, with appeals from these courts directed to the district’s supreme court.
