Article 25 explained in plain English
This article obliges the president of the Shura Council to submit an annual report on the Council's work.
- Who submits it: the president of the Shura Council.
- To whom: to the King.
- Frequency: annual.
- Its content: what the Council has done in terms of work.
- Its details: as set out in the Internal Rules of the Council.
The article does not detail the content of the report or the date of its submission, but leaves that to the Council's Internal Rules, so they should be consulted for the details.
These reports are submitted by the president in his capacity as representative of the Council, and the text does not provide for them to be submitted by anyone else. The report keeps the King informed on a regular basis of what the Council has achieved during the year. It is preceded by Article 24, which regulates requesting that the Council be given documents and data from government bodies, and followed by Article 26, which provides that the civil service laws apply to the employees of the Council's bodies unless the Internal Rules provide otherwise.
