The Dubai Executive Council will now have the authority to advise the emirate’s ruler on strategic affairs, policy endorsement, national prioritization, and enhancing government legislation, after Dubai Ruler and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum issued a new law outlining the body’s roles and responsibilities, reports Wam. The new law replaces the previous version, which was issued in 2003.
More responsibilities also handed to the Strategic Affairs Council: The Strategic Affairs Council (SAC) —an affiliate of the Executive Council — will also be handed the authority to approve public policies, including the Dubai Strategic Plan, submitting them for authorization to TEC. It will also oversee government performance and development plans, and will collaborate closely with the Executive Council for approvals and reviews.
