Powers of a Governorate Council to Remove Officials Pursuant to the Provincial Powers Law

You have asked me to look into the extent of the powers of the Governorate Councils, which were recently elected, to remove officials pursuant to the Provincial Powers Law. Specifically, you have indicated that the Governorate Council of Diyala has sought to dismiss the "Director General of Oil in the Diyala Governorate", and that the Minister of Oil has refused to replace this person with someone else.
