Majali highlights
Lower House role in political reform
Lower House Speaker Abdul Hadi Majali on Monday underlined the House’s role in
reinforcing the country’s political reform, and activating the role of political
parties. During a meeting with participants in a women’s political empowerment
programme yesterday, Majali said political reform is linked with the House’s
legislative and monitoring roles, noting that deputies have worked on several
pieces of legislation regulating political activity in the country. These
include the Political Parties Law and the Press and Publications Law, Majali
said, pointing out that political reform requires a system that allows members
of the media easy access to information.
