The General Secretariat of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) held its Legislative
Oversight Annual Forum for the year 2025 (Legislative Oversight Forum), under the theme “Together for Enhanced

Legislative Compliance”. The event was held in the presence of H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC
Secretary-General, and H.E. Mohammed Juma Al Suwaidi, SLC Assistant Secretary-General. SLC legal experts and

strategic partners actively participated in the event.

The Legislative Oversight Forum was inaugurated by H.E. Al Muhairi, who delivered the opening address outlining key
aspects of the legislative landscape and the audit ecosystem, while emphasising the importance of fostering a culture of

legislative compliance.

The Legislative Oversight Forum featured a presentation titled ‘Insights into Legislative Oversight’, delivered by Mr.
Omar Al Suwaidi, Director of the SLC Legislative Audit Directorate. The presentation highlighted the SLC’s role in

promoting legislative compliance among government entities, in accordance with Law No. (14) of 2024 Concerning the
Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai, and Resolution No. (3) of 2024 Approving the Terms of
Reference of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai.

The presentation also explored the SLC’s core functions, the concept and procedures of legislative compliance, annual

legislative audit statistics for 2024, and the legislative compliance rate as a government performance excellence
indicator. The presentation further outlined the responsibilities of government entities, while emphasising the

importance of proper implementation of legislation in upholding governance and transparency.

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.
