Parliament to Vote on Inquiry into Housing Ministry's Effectiveness

It emphasises the need to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the Ministry's plans and programmes in addressing housing demands, particularly given the long waiting lists for citizens seeking suitable housing that provides a decent life, a constitutionally guaranteed right for low-income individuals.

The inquiry will focus on six key areas: The fairness of housing unit allocation among citizens and the criteria used by the ministry will be examined. The effectiveness of the Mazaya and Tasheel programmes in meeting diverse housing needs and their ability to address long waiting lists will also be assessed.

Various procedures and mechanisms employed by the ministry, including the allocation of housing plots and the establishment of new housing cities, will be scrutinised. The ministry's plans to increase investment and strengthen partnerships with the private sector will be evaluated.
