Joint Committee of Committee on National Development And Heritage and Committee on Decentralization

Joint Committee of Committee on National Development and Heritage and Committee on Decentralization 7th meeting of the year 2024

15 Oct 2024 Number 7

Summary

The agenda for this meeting was to review the Urban Development Bill. As the deadline for the bill had already passed, the Committee discussed the possibility of extending it to allow more time for review. When the floor was open for proposals, the Committee was presented with two proposals for the extension. 

The first proposal was made by Thoddoo Constituency Member Hussain Sameer to extend the bill's deadline by one month. This was seconded by Keyodhoo Constituency Member Mohamed Niushad. The purpose to extend the deadline was stated to allow the Committee to engage with key stakeholders, including Atoll Councils, Island Councils, NGOs and other CSOs.

The proposal was not passed as it did not receive the required number of votes to pass.

 

The second proposal, regarding the extension of the deadline, was submitted by Hoarafushi Constituency Member Ali Moosa. He proposed extending the deadline for the bill to 7th November 2024, and the proposal was seconded by Central Machchangolhi Constituency Member Ahmed Xamyr.

This proposal was passed by the majority of the members present.

 

Following this, the Committee further discussed how to proceed with the bill review. Central Machchangolhi Constituency Member Ahmed Xamyr proposed to schedule a meeting next week, allowing committee members time to evaluate the comments sent by the public. This proposal was seconded by North Henveyru Constituency Member Ahmed Aifan. 

This proposal was passed by the majority of the members present.
