Hon’ble Phuntsho Rapten, Chairperson of the Legislative Committee introduced the Civil Society Organization (Amendment) Bill of Bhutan 2021 to the House, today.

He informed the House that the Act was first enacted in 2007 to strengthen civil society, promote social welfare and enhance harmony in the society. He reported that the amendment is primarily for the purpose of improving and strengthening the Civil Society Organizations Authority and timely monitoring of the Civil Society Organizations. He added that there are 63 registered CSOs in the country and another 25 are awaiting registration.

Following the introduction, the House deliberated on the recommendations of the Committee on the Amendment Bill. In the process of deliberation, the House thoroughly debated on the Committee’s recommendation to provide adequate human resources and financial support to the CSO Authority. While some of the Hon’ble Members supported the recommendation, some of the Hon’ble Members felt that it requires specificity.

Further, the House also deliberated on the composition of the Authority, Endowment Fund Limit of CSOs, Removal from the Register, Accounting and Reporting System, Annual Audit, and Annual Reports, amongst others.

The House directed the Committee to consult and re-deliberate with the concerned Hon’ble Members on the disputed sections of the Bill and submit for the final adoption.
