Janabiya could get a youth centre under an urgent request submitted to Parliament, with the sponsors asking that it be raised in Parliament and sent to the Government after approval.

The proposal was filed under Article 68 of the Constitution and Article 128 of Parliament’s rules of procedure. It is signed by MP Munir Seroor, MP Lulwa Al Rumaihi and MP Hamad Al Doy, along with Hassan Ebrahim and Ali Al Nuaimi.

In an accompanying memorandum, the sponsors point to a rise in Janabiya’s population linked to building growth and an influx of residents from across Bahrain.

They place particular weight on South Janabiya, where permits for apartment buildings have added to the area’s headcount.

They argue that the area still lacks a dedicated youth centre, despite what they describe as a growing youth cohort and a range of talents.

A centre, they say, would offer a place to build life and work skills, encourage volunteering and responsibility, and give young people structured activities.

The memorandum adds that regular participation in youth programmes can build confidence, help prepare young people for future leadership roles, and support social ties by strengthening identity and a sense of belonging
