The State budget for 2007 was passed by the People’s Majlis on Thursday.
In the sitting, which was the last this year, the budget was passed by a majority of 36 votes out of the 45 members that were present at voting.
The voting was preceded by a prolonged debate on the budget, which itself was followed by discussions. The budget was then sent to a 15 member ad-hoc committee as stipulated in Majlis regulations.
Not a single amendment was proposed by the committee in the report, although 21 recommendations were passed on to the government.
