Man requested that the new laws must be concise, clear, effective, and enforceable, while promoting decentralisation and delegation of authority.

He stressed that the proposing agency must bear full responsibility for the draft laws until final approval by the legislature, requiring the Government and drafting bodies to oversee the process meticulously, engage actively in debates, and address feedback at every stage.

Lawmakers and NA committees were asked to work closely with the drafting agencies at every stage of the legislative process, from discussions and consultations to editing and appraisal, ensuring the best quality laws and resolutions for the NA’s consideration.

According to the top legislator, the NA Standing Committee has been directing parliamentary bodies to expedite the finalisation of legislative content within their respective domains, guaranteeing timely completion of all drafts and proposals for submission to the legislature./.
