Wide-ranging powers for provincial councils proposed

THE provincial councils will be given wide-ranging powers if one of many controversial recommendations from the Strategic Review Committee is adopted at the Special Congress in 10 days time.

It would give them "a monitoring and supervisory" role over county committees within their jurisdiction, in areas such as games development, competitions, financial performance and in the establishment of new clubs in areas of population growth.

And, specifically in the area of opposition to the establishment of new club units by existing clubs, an avenue of appeal would be opened to the provincial council.
