Some Ordinances of the Caretaker Government to be turned to Law


The special committee of parliament on Sunday made its final recommendation for ratifying 54 ordinances out of 122 promulgated just before and during the immediate past caretaker government.

After an exhaustive meeting in Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, the committee last night came up with the final list.

The much talked about Right to Information Ordinance, Human Rights Commission Ordinance, and Consumers Rights Protection Ordinance are also on the final list.

The committee decided not to recommend for ratification 68 ordinances, meaning over a half of the ordinances will cease to have any effect after 30 days since their introduction to the parliament on January 25.

The committee will meet again on Tuesday to discuss whether a legal cover is required for the immediate past caretaker government's regime of two years, as the constitution allowed it to stay in power only 90 days.

If a legal cover is required, the constitution will be amended to give the regime the required coverage.

In this report Barrister M Zahir assesses the situation.
