Press Release

The Legislative Oversight Forum also featured a session titled ‘Legislative Compliance

Dialogue’, with Ms. Wadha Al Ghafli, Director of Strategy and Excellence at the Dubai
Government Human Resources Department, as guest speaker. The session was hosted

by Mrs. Marwah Mohammed Ibrahim, Head of the Audit Section at the SLC Legislative
Audit Directorate.

The Legislative Oversight Forum is part of the SLC’s ongoing commitment to fostering

a culture of legislative compliance at both institutional and societal levels. The forum
showcased exemplary compliance models from diverse sectors, including entities that

achieved the highest compliance rates, embodying the highest standards for legislative
compliance across government operations. The event also served as a prominent

platform for strengthening collaboration and coordination among government
entities, facilitating dialogue on tools and mechanisms required for enhancing

legislative compliance — an essential factor in consolidating the rule of law, improving
government efficiency, and promoting the principles of effectiveness and transparency

within the Dubai government sector.

In his address, H.E. Al Muhairi explained that legislative compliance is a cornerstone of

government excellence, serving as a key indicator of progress and a catalyst for
enhancing the performance of public sector operations. H.E. Al Muhairi underscored

the need for unified efforts and seamless coordination among all government entities
to ensure the optimal implementation of legislative frameworks. This contributes to

consolidating the rule of law and strengthening Dubai’s position at the forefront of
legislative compliance regionally and internationally.

H.E. Al Muhairi added: “Legislative oversight is gaining increasing importance in light

of the rapid pace of economic and technological transformation, and the growing
adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), amid rising public

expectations for higher levels of efficiency. In this context, the Supreme Legislation
Committee in the Emirate of Dubai remains committed to raising awareness about the

importance of aligning institutional work systems within government entities with

legislative compliance frameworks, and to adopting well-defined policies and
procedures that ensure attainment of the highest standards of legislative compliance.”
