TEHRAN – The Tehran City Council is taking measures that if successful, it will contribute to the financial transparency of the mayor, Sharq daily reported on Wednesday.

Accordingly, 22 members of the council have signed a document that requires a partial limitation of the mayor’s financial privileges.

“The mayor and his deputies enjoy privileges beyond the law and we are seeking ways to control their financial performances since there is no transparency in that area,” council member Ahmad Hakimipour said.
