6/2/25, 3:53 PM SLC Convenes Annual Legislative Oversight Forum 2025
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.”

The Legislative Oversight Forum also featured the ‘Legislative Compliance Award’,
recognising Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), Dubai Health Authority (DHA),
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment,
Financial Audit Authority, Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS), Islamic Affairs
and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD), and the Judicial Council as exemplary models
of legislative compliance.
