MUSCAT: The new Basic Law issued by His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik creates a committee under the sultan to evaluate the performance of ministers and other government officials.

According to the Article (65) of the Basic Law says: “A committee under the Sultan should be formed and entrusted with following up and evaluating the performance of the ministers, under-secretaries and officials in the same category as well as chairmen and members of boards of directors and executive chairmen and CEOs of the public establishments and other units of the state’s administrative apparatus. A Royal order will be issued determining the formulation, working system and specialisations of the said committee.”

This has been welcomed by citizens in the country. “Now every minister is responsible for a particular sector, and the vision is clear, and what he must do is focus on implementation,” said Mohammed Al Busaidi, Chairman of OMRAN in an interview with Al Wisal Radio.
