MP Jalila Al Alawi delivered a wide-ranging parliamentary intervention addressing unresolved employment files, social insurance reform, humanitarian residency cases, housing pressures in the Capital Governorate, and outstanding issues related to the fisheries sector.

The remarks were made during the seventeenth ordinary session of the Council of Representatives, convened as part of the fourth ordinary annual term of the sixth legislative term.

Al Alawi raised concerns regarding the electronic system of the General Organisation for Social Insurance, calling for substantive technical reform to ensure the timely disbursement of entitlements, particularly pensions owed to the families of deceased contributors.

She further emphasised the need for tangible changes in the organisation’s investment practices to enhance long term sustainability and service efficiency. Addressing residency and visa procedures, Al Alawi supported proposals calling for the acceleration of visa and residency services for spouses of Bahraini men and women.
