Monday, 23 June 2008
The Council of Advisers of the caretaker government Sunday discussed the Ombudsman (Amendment) Ordinance 2008 and sent it back for further examination pending approval, reports UNB.
A meeting of the council of advisers with Chief Adviser Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed in the chair approved in principle another draft ordinance delineating the responsibility of the president of managing committee, governing body or ad-hoc committee of government and non-government schools, colleges, madrasahs and institutions of technical education.
"The new ordinance is likely to bring diversification in managing committees, governing bodies or ad-hoc committees of government and non-government educational institutions," it is stated in the objective of the law in the making.
After the provisional approval, the Ministry concerned was asked to place it again before the council "as soon as possible".
The meeting also approved a proposal canceling proposed amendment to the Government and Local Authority Lands and Buildings (Recovery of Possession) Ordinance 1970.
The amendment proposal was for incorporating in the ordinance a provision so that government could evict illegal ownerships of private and individual lands and establishments alongside eviction of illegal possession of government lands and buildings.
Besides, the meeting approved in principle a proposal for government's ratification of the Cape Town Convention and Related Aircraft Protocol. So far, 21 countries, including India and Pakistan, have ratified the convention and aircraft protocol.
CA's Press Secretary Syed Fahim Munaim briefed newsmen about the meeting.
Members of the council of advisers attended the meeting at the CA's office. Cabinet Secretary and Secretaries concerned were also present.
