His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, today morning opened the first ordinary session of the Sharjah Consultative Council's 9th Legislative Chapter at the Council's headquarters.
Present were His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Salem Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and a number of Sheikhs, ministers, deputy ministers, directors and members of the Sharjah Executive Council and the Federal National Council, as well as a number of other senior officials and representatives of the media.
The opening ceremony began with the reception of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, followed by the Council's 44 members taking oath before His Highness.
The first session was presided by Dr Khalifa Obaid bin Dalmooj, being the oldest member, before Khawla Abdulrahman Al Mulla was elected uncontested Chairperson of the Sharjah Consultative Council and Hamad Salem Ali Ejtebi was elected Deputy Chairperson with 23 votes.
His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, accompanied by other attendees, then headed to the Sharjah Consultative Council Hall to open the first ordinary session of the 9th Legislative Chapter, and in his opening remarks, he expressed his wishes for success for the council.
HE Khawla Abdulrahman Al Mulla, Chairperson of the Sharjah Consultative Council, gave her speech, saying the Council was graced by the presence of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, at the opening of the first ordinary session of the 9th Legislative Chapter.
She hailed the vision of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah to bolster the role of the people of Sharjah in the construction and development process, as well as in decision-making, discussing community affairs and assisting the Government in serving public interest, through giving them the right to vote and stand as candidates in the Sharjah Consultative Council elections.
She added: The Sharjah Consultative Council is a true partner to the Government of Sharjah in making decisions and issuing regulations. It builds on the success of the national experience of the Federal National Council in light of the directives of His Highness President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to elect half of its members.
A first in the history of Sharjah's highest advisory body since its inception in 1999, HE Al Mulla expressed her pride at being the first woman to be elected to chair the Council, saying this is a testament to the keenness of the people of Sharjah to empower all segments of society, especially women, to highlight their leading role in serving the country and the Emirate.
She applauded the vision of His Highness the Sharjah Ruler in ensuring that women remain represented by seven seats in the Council to enable the daughters of Sharjah to participate in decision-making and assume their share of national responsibility.
Ahmed Saeed Al Jarwan, Secretary-General of the Consultative Council, read the text of Emiri Decree No. 13 / 2016 on requesting the Sharjah Consultative Council to convene the first ordinary session of the 9th Legislative Chapter.
