DUSHANBE, May 24, 2011, Asia-Plus — The next fifth session of the Majlisi Milli (Tajikistan’s upper house of parliament) will be held in Dushanbe on June 9.
The Majlisi Milli Chairman Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloyev signed an appropriate decree on this subject on May 23.
Shavkat Saidov, an aide to the Majlisi Milli speaker, says the session will consider a number of laws adopted by the lower house (Majlisi Namoyandagon) of parliament. “In particular, the Majlisi Milli members will consider the country’s laws on security and the National Bank of Tajikistan,” he noted.
The Majlisi Milli effectuates its work in the form of a session. A session of the Majlisi Milli is convoked by its speaker not less than twice a year.
The laws adopted by the Majlisi Namoyandagon are submitted to the Majlisi Milli, with the exception of the Law “On the State Budget.” The Majlisi Milli seconds the law by a majority of votes of the total number of its members. In the event the Majlisi Milli doesn’t second the law, it is considered at the Majlisi Namoyandagon repeatedly.
