Speaker Al Musallam pointed out that the legislative branch has, in cooperation with the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, enacted many laws and legislations, while following up on the Government Plan, which was unanimously approved by lawmakers to contribute to attaining the expected accomplishments.
He affirmed that joint legislative-executive work will continue to implement all issues on which the two branches had reached while approved the state budget. Al Musallam emphasised the pivotal role of the legislative branch in contributing to developing the legislative system to support the government plans and development programmes, create a stimulating atmosphere for investments, and achieve the goals of the Economic Recovery Plan and the Fiscal Balance Programme to support the national economy, diversify sources of income and generate quality job opportunities, which will contribute to improving the living standards of Bahraini families and society as a whole.
The Speaker affirmed unwavering resolve to continue developing the kingdom’s human rights framework and supporting the national mechanisms, following the issuance of Royal Order 39 of 2023 which advanced the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR)’s work towards more transparency, independence and neutrality, in accordance with the Paris Principles relating to the status of national human rights institutions, in addition to the success of the implementation of the Alternative Sentencing Law, the Open Prisons Programme and other human rights-supporting programmes and initiatives.
