No more bills to be placed in JS to ratify ordinances

Staff Correspondent
No more bills for making the ordinances promulgated by the last caretaker government into laws might be sent to respective parliamentary bodies for scrutiny.
The House yesterday did not send two bills to the parliamentary body concerned for further examination.
During placement of two bills in the House for passing and two ordinances for scrapping, the speaker, the law minister and the chief of a parliamentary body agreed that the ordinances do not require further scrutiny. They were of the opinion that a parliamentary special committee has already completed this job.
Following their opinions, two bills for making the Electoral Rolls Ordinance, 2007, and Election Commission (EC) Secretariat Ordinance, 2008, into laws were not sent to the parliamentary standing committee on law ministry for scrutiny.
But the bill titled Citizenship Amendment Act, 2009, which was placed in parliament Thursday was sent to the parliamentary standing committee on home ministry for scrutiny even though the special committee had picked the ordinance for ratification.
The special committee could not properly scrutinise the 122 ordinances promulgated just before and during the tenure of the immediate past caretaker government due to insufficient time.
Law, Justice and Pari lament ary Affairs Minister Shafique Ahmed yesterday placed two bills titled Electoral Rolls Act, 2009, and Election Commission Secretariat Act, 2009, in parliament.
When the speaker urged the law minister to propose for sending the bill on electoral roll to the standing committee for scrutiny, the law minister said the bill did not require further scrutiny as the special committee of the Jatiya Sangsad earlier scrutinised
the ordinance.
In defence for not sending the bills to the standing committee for scrutiny, the special committee placed its report in the House recommending ratification of the ordinances.
"So, there is no need for sending the bills to the committee for scrutiny," the law minister said.
Speaker Abdul Hamid, who was presiding over the assembly, echoed the same view.
He, however, invited opinion from Suranjit Sengupta, chief of the parliamentary standing committee on the law ministry. Suranjit said he had no objection to it.
The law minister then proposed the House to consider the bill for passing.
The immediate past caretaker government led by Fakhruddin Ahmed promulgated the Electoral Rolls Ordinance, 2007, to prepare fresh voter list with photographs and the EC Secretariat Ordinance to make it free from the control of any government ministries or divisions.
The law minister, however, did not place another bill titled Money Laundering (amendment) Act, 2009, although it was included in the order of the day.
The special committee of the latiya Sangsad scrutinised 122 ordinances and placed report in the House recommending ratification of 54 of them.
Following the committee's recommendations, the respective ministers started placing bills for making the ordinances into laws. Till yesterday, only three out of the recommended 54 ordinances were placed in parliament as bills.
