Royal orders were issued today amending the Shura Council system and forming a new chamber for four years, beginning at the expiration of the term of the current Shura Council. According to the royal order, the Shura Council will consist of a Speaker and 150 members, chosen by the King according to their knowledge, experience and profession. Another royal order “will designate the members’ rights, duties and other things.” The rights of the Shura Council to form subcommittees and ad hoc committees to study specific issues are also detailed.

The royal order mandates that no less than twenty percent of the Council’s members will be women. It states, “Women, selected as members of the Shura Council, will enjoy full rights of membership, be committed to their duties, responsibilities and assume their jobs.” The directive adds that separate entrances, seating areas, and facilities will be allocated for women.
