The ministry wants the Ķekava municipal council to immediately cancel a decision over changing the makeup of the committees in the council that it had taken without the councilors' consent and without informing them.
Under the current rules a committee member can only be replaced on the grounds of a formal request about leaving the committee.
"If the Ķekava municipal councilors are unable to abide to rules and regulations, the council may be sacked, without a shadow of a doubt, for gross violations of democratic principles," the ministry's Parliamentary Secretary Jānis Eglītis said.
