In its session yesterday, the House of Representatives rejected the proposal “as a matter of urgency” for the government to study the possibility of selling part of Gulf Air’s stake to investors while retaining 51% for “Mumtalakat.”
It is noteworthy that the proposal was on the agenda of the last session, but it did not receive the necessary majority to approve or reject it, which led to the postponement of voting on it until yesterday’s session.
The Council approved the proposal with a desire “as a matter of urgency” regarding the cancellation of Resolution No. 205 of 2018 regarding the ban on marine fishing using bottom trawl nets (crafs), and the proposal with a desire “as a matter of urgency” regarding accelerating the procedures for providing the water network extension service and delivering it to 30 homes in Complex 1012 in the Hamala area in the seventh Northern Governorate.
The Council also approved 8 proposals with a desire, related to establishing an industrial zone specialized in pharmaceutical industries, establishing a sports walkway in the seventh district in the Southern Governorate, working to allocate a headquarters for the Women’s Club of the National Association of Al-Kharjiya Village in the Sitra area, allowing the people of Al-Kawra village to use the Tubli Primary School for Boys football field during the evening period, establishing a preparatory school for boys in Busaiteen, allocating parking lots for patients with temporary or chronic health conditions and marking them with a special logo, and naming one of the streets in the city of Manama after the late Sheikh.
