Chairman of the Majlisi Milli (Tajikistan’s upper chamber of parliament), Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloyev, has signed resolution to convene the next 18th session of the Majlisi Milli on March 29.
The session will discuss a number of laws adopted the Majlisi Namoyandagon (Tajikistan’s lower house of parliament).
“Among them are laws on combating corruption, parental responsibility, and public service,” an official source at the Majlisi Milli told Asia-Plus in an interview.
According to him, GBAO governor Yodgor Fayzov, who was elected to the Majlisi Milli, will swear allegiance to the people of Tajikistan.
Recall, under amendments adopted at a constitutional referendum on May 22, 2016, members of the government swear allegiance to the president, while parliamentarians swear allegiance to the people of Tajikistan.
“Besides, Tajik chief prosecutor Yusuf Rahmon will report on observance of the law in the country,” the source added.
Under Tajikistan’s legislation, the Majlisi Milli considers and seconds laws adopted by the Majlisi Namoyandagon. The Majlisi Milli shall second 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 shall be considered at the Majlisi Namoyandagon repeatedly.
If the Majlisi Namoyandagon does not agree with decision of the Majlisi Milli, the law shall be considered to be adopted if Majlisi Namoyandagon by not less than two-thirds of the votes confirms the decision previously adopted by it.
Only the Majlisi Namoyandagon shall adopt the Law on the State budget. The Majlisi Namoyandagon shall control over execution of the budget.
