Decisions to set up Bahraini referendum committees

Bahrain's minister of justice and Islamic affairs Sheikh Abdullah Bin Khal al-Khaleifa has released four decisions concerning the formation of the referendum committees on the national work document which is scheduled to be held on February 14 and 15.

The already released four decisions relate to form the referendum committee, define its headquarters and works measures inside it, as well as forming the selection committees and inviting people to take part in the referendum.

On January 23, the ruler of Bahrain Sheikh Hamad Bin Issa al-Khaleifa released an Emire decision in which he called on the people of Bahrain who completed their 21 year old to take part in the referendum.

Worthy mentioning that the national document states, in particular to revive the parliamentary life by establishing a legislative authority composed of two councils: the first is to be elected and the second to be consultative (appointed) as well as to change Bahrain from an Emirate into a constitutional Kingdom.
