JS bodies to be formed within 3 sessions

Move to amend rules of procedures

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
A parliamentary body yesterday decided to amend the rules of procedure of the Jatiya Sangsad to ensure that the formation of all parliamentary standing committees is completed within the third session of a parliament.
The standing committee on rules of procedure at a meeting took the decision to avoid unwanted delay in forming the parliamentary watchdog
bodies.
"We will soon amend the rules of procedure of the Jatiya Sangsad to implement the decision," Speaker Jamir Uddin Sircar who is also the chairman of the committee told reporters at his office after the meeting.
Committee member and ruling BNP lawmaker Mashiur Rahman termed the decision "a tremendous achievement" of the committee that will expedite the parliamentary
bodies' overseeing of the government activities.
Once the decision is implemented, the House will be able to complete the formation of standing committees in four months of the inaugural session. Usually, every new parliament sees its third session within four months.
The current parliament took about one and half years to complete the formation of the committees
while the previous parliament took about two years.
As the rules of procedure do not specify any time limit to form the parliamentary bodies, the ruling party delays their formation.
Many lawmakers, however, had proposed formation of the committees in the first session of each parliament.
The speaker said there is a time limit that each new parliament will go into session within 30 days of the general election. By this time the cabinet is formed. "So there should be a time limit to complete the formation of the standing committees," Sircar observed.
The meeting was attended by Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Moudud Ahmed, Agriculture Minister MK Anwar, Chief Whip Khandakar Delwar Hossain, Abdul Mannan and Awami League lawmaker Rahmat Ali.
The chief whip, however, opposed the decision, saying that there is no such time limit mentioned in the constitution.
