Government, last Thursday, November 16, 2017<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, laid before Parliament a Legislative Instrument (LI) for the creation of some new districts in the country.<\/p>\n

Municipalities are supposed to have a population size of about 95,000, whilst about 75,000 are expected within a district.<\/p>\n
