76Th Session.Pdf TRANSLATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE 76TH SESSION OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF BHUTAN HELD FROM THE FIFTH DAY OF THE FIFTH MONTH TO THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SIXTH MONTH OF THE MALE EARTH TIGER YEAR (JUNE 29TH TO JULY 30TH, 1998) I. OPENING CEREMONY The 76th Session of the National Assembly of Bhutan commenced on the Fifth Day of the auspicious Fifth Month of the Male Earth Tiger Year corresponding to 29th June 1998 with the arrival of His Majesty the King in the traditional Chipdrel ceremony followed by the performance of the auspicious Zhugdrel Phunsum Tsogpai Tendrel. In his opening address, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Dasho Kinzang Dorji, welcomed His Majesty the King, the representatives of the Dratshang and Rabdeys, the government representatives, people’s representatives (Chimis) and the candidates who had come from the Dzongkhags for the election of six new Royal Advisory Councillors. The Speaker also extended a warm Tashi Delek and welcomed the new Chimis and representatives of the Dratshang and the government. He reminded them of their important responsibilities as members of the National Assembly and emphasized the need for them to participate sincerely and thoughtfully in the decision-making process of the country. The Speaker informed the members that despite a late start on the path of modern development, Bhutan is today regarded as a ‘success story’, a country that has developed and achieved remarkable success within a very short span of time. Bhutan had achieved unprecedented development and progress without eroding the values of its age-old culture and traditions. This has been possible only because of the wise and farsighted leadership of our beloved monarchs. Except for a few sages, able to see into the future, no one could have imagined the tremendous pace of socio-economic development that has taken place in Bhutan today. The Speaker added that the socio-economic development that Bhutan has achieved surpassed all expectations and all the members are well aware of the peace and prosperity that the people have enjoyed. He pointed out that such remarkable progress has been possible only because of His Majesty’s wise and far-sighted leadership. As everyone is aware, His Majesty the King had to ascend the golden throne and take on the full responsibility of governing the country when he was only 16 years old. In the 26 years of his reign His Majesty has always kept the interest of the country foremost in his mind and led the country into an era of even greater peace and happiness. Above all, His Majesty has further strengthened the sovereignty and security of the country for the benefit of future Bhutanese generations. The Speaker informed the house that Bhutan has been able to meet its recurrent expenditures from its internal revenue for the last three years and also has a hard currency reserve which can meet its import requirements for two years. Few developing countries have achieved such economic success. This has been possible, despite many problems, solely because of His Majesty’s deep commitment and continued efforts to ensure peace and prosperity for the Bhutanese people. All members of the house should, therefore, offer their sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to His Majesty the King. The Speaker also pointed out that Bhutan is one of the least taxed countries in the world and the tax paid by the people is only a token amount. In short, one cannot help but realize with deep appreciation that the people of the Palden Drukpa have never enjoyed as much peace, happiness and prosperity as they do today . The Speaker also reminded the members that His Majesty has successfully thwarted the repeated attempts by the ngolops and their supporters, motivated by selfish desires and vested interests, to harm the Tsa-Wa-Sum. In the process, His Majesty has further strengthened the security and the sovereignty of the country. The National Assembly, in its previous sessions, had deliberated at length on the threat from ngolops to the security of the country and many points of view from the people had also been submitted in the course of the deliberations. Due to the collective good fortune of the Bhutanese people, His Majesty the King had taken the full responsibility of solving the ngolop problem and because of his wise actions the ngolops could not achieve their objectives and have been unable to harm the peace and stability of the country. The Speaker informed the house that the 76th Session of the National Assembly will begin with the reading out of His Majesty the King’s Kasho to the Speaker, a copy of which would be distributed to the members. He reminded the members that His Majesty the King had always worked single-mindedly to promote the welfare of the country, and had also been a constant source of inspiration and guidance to the members of the National Assembly. Pointing out that the command of His Majesty the King is heavier than the mountains and more precious than gold, the Speaker called upon the members to give special attention to the precious Kasho issued by His Majesty the King. They must fully understand the content and implications of the Kasho, and setting aside all self-interest, deliberate on the Kasho in keeping with the noble visions of His Majesty, to safeguard both the present and future interests of the country. In conclusion, the Speaker reminded the members that they are the chosen representatives of their constituencies with the mandate to represent the Dratshang, Rabdeys, the government and the people in the highest national forum in the country. The Speaker urged the members to take active part in the deliberations and express their views frankly, always keeping in mind the interest and well-being of the country. After the opening address, the 76th Session of the National Assembly commenced with the reading of His Majesty the King’s Kasho to the Speaker. Copies of the Kasho were then distributed to the members. ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF KASHO ISSUED TO THE SPEAKER OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. This is to apprise the Speaker of the Tshogdu Chhenmo that a matter of great importance, for the present as well as the future well-being and security of our country, needs to be discussed and decided by the Tshogdu Chhenmo during its forthcoming 76th Session. Over the past twenty six years of my reign I have, above everything else in my life, always put the interest and well-being of the country and people first. I have constantly strived, through the full endeavour of body, speech and mind, to bring progress and prosperity to the Bhutanese people and to safeguard the national interest and security of our country, the glorious Palden Drukpa. We can draw much satisfaction that during this period Bhutan has achieved rapid socio-economic development, which has brought about a better quality of life for our people, and its status as a sovereign, independent country has also been greatly strengthened. It has also been my endeavour to encourage and prepare our people to participate actively and fully in the decision making process of our country. To this end a policy of decentralization was launched and Dzongkhag Yargay Tshogchungs were established in all our Dzongkhags in 1981. This policy was given a further impetus in 1991 with the establishment of Geog Yargay Tshogchungs in all 202 geogs. Today, our country is progressing well on the path of socio-economic development and the people are also playing an increasingly active role, through the Dzongkhag Yargay Tshogchungs and the Geog Yargay Tshogchungs, in the formulation and implementation of development programmes and in bringing forward issues of national concern for discussion in the Tshogdu Chhenmo. The time has now come to promote even greater people’s participation in the decision making process. Our country must be ensured to always have a system of government which enjoys the mandate of the people, provides clean and efficient governance, and also has an inbuilt mechanism of checks and balance to safeguard our national interest and security. As an important step towards achieving this goal, the Lhengyel Shungtshog should now be restructured into an elected Council of Ministers that is vested with full executive powers to provide efficient and effective governance of our country Therefore, keeping in mind both the present and future interest and well-being of our country, I would like to request the honourable members of the Tshogdu Chhenmo to discuss and take a decision on the following important issues during the 76th Session of the Tshogdu Chhenmo. 1. All cabinet ministers should henceforth be elected by the Tshogdu Chhenmo with the first election of cabinet ministers to take place during the 76th session. 2. A decision should be taken on the role and responsibilities of the Lhengyel Shungtshog. 3. The Tshogdu Chhenmo should have a mechanism to move a vote of confidence in His Majesty the Druk Gyalpo. Having given considerable thought to these important issues, I would like to share my views on them with the honourable members of the Tshogdu Chhenmo so that this matter of great national importance can be fruitfully discussed and unanimously decided during the 76th Session. The honourable members may wish to consider my thoughts and views, given below, as a guideline for our deliberations on the restructuring of the Lhengyel Shungtshog and the devolution of full executive powers of governance to an elected Council of Ministers. The Lhengyel Shungtshog should henceforth comprise of elected ministers and the members of the Royal Advisory Council. At the present juncture, while Bhutan has many qualified and capable officials most of them are still very young and do not have enough seniority, in keeping with our tradition and culture, to stand as candidates for the post of cabinet minister.

While there is evidence of increased religious disapproval of pig raising, the consumption of pork, which is mainly met from imports, is increasing every year. Pig development activities are mainly focused on introduction of exotic germplasm. There is an evidence of a slow but steady increase in the population of improved pigs in the country. On the other hand, indigenous pigs still comprise 68 percent of the total pig population but their numbers are rapidly declining. If this trend continues, indigenous pigs will become extinct within the next 10 years. Once lost, this important genetic resource is largely irreplaceable. Therefore, Government of Bhutan must make an effort to protect, promote and utilize indigenous pig resources in a sustainable manner. In addition to the current ex situ conservation programme based on cryopre- servation of semen, which needs strengthening, in situ conservation and a nucleus farm is required to combat the enormous decline of the population of indigenous pigs and to ensure a sustainable source of swine genetic resources in the country.

Not only the way it came into existence but also the manner in which it was interpreted made the process of democratization exceptional. As a land- locked country which is bordered on the north by Tibet in China and on the south by the Indian states Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, it was a late starter in the process of state-building.

SMALL HYDRO PROJECT RANGJUNG, BHUTAN Figure 25: Relief map of Bhutan showing the Rangjung project area in the remote Eastern dis- tricts of Trashigang and Trashiyangtse. Page 72 ÖEZA, Projekt 1389 SmallHydro Project Evaluation Nepal & Bhutan Final Report 4.1 Project History 4.1.1 Project Identification and Appraisal The Rangjung Small Hydro Plant located in the District of Trashigang (East Bhutan) is a project of the early rural electrification strategy of the RGOB. This strategy foresaw the electrification of the remote districts through decentralised small and mini hydro- power plants and associated mini grids. The objective of the Rangjung SHP project was to stimulate economic and social development of remote Eastern Bhutan through electrification. This concept was in line with the general objectives of the Austrian De- velopment Co-operation in Bhutan and the request for assistance in developing the Rangjung Small hydro Plant was therefore granted. Co-operation in small hydro power development between RGOB and the Austrian Federal Chancellery (AFC) began in 1986 with fact finding missions and strategic issues on how to develop the sites (turn- key versus co-operation). Studies for the Rangjung site were carried out in the late 1980s (concept study 1988, feasibility study June 1989) but the bilateral agreement between the RGOB and the Austrian Government (through the Federal Chancellery) confirming the Austrian grant aid was signed only in April 1993. The Rangjung plant with an initial capacity of 1.1MW was to complement two existing Indian-funded mini hydro plants which energised an existing grid of limited extension in Trashigang district.

  • Governing Bodies
    Section 1 Governing Bodies 1 Governing Bodies The Fifty-first World Health Assembly, held in Geneva from World Health 11 to 15 May 1998, elected Dr Faisal Radhi Al-Mousawi Assembly (Bahrain) as President, Mr J.Y. Thinley (Bhutan) as one of the Vice-Presidents, and Dr Nimal Seripala de Silva (Sri Lanka) as Chairman of Committee B. Bangladesh was elected to designate a person to serve as a Member of the Executive Board for a term of three years, to fill the vacancy created by one of the outgoing Members (Bhutan) from the South-East Asia Region on completion of its term. The Assembly appointed Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland as the Director-General of the Organization for a five-year term beginning 21 July 1998. It also debated the issue of regional allocations and adopted resolution WHA51.31. This resulted in a consensus for a compromise approach, which is substantially more favourable to the South-East Asia Region when compared with the earlier Executive Board proposal. The Fifty-second World Health Assembly was held in Geneva from 17 to 25 May 1999. The Assembly elected Mrs Maria de Belem Roseira (Portugal) as President. Mr S.U. Yussuf (Bangladesh) was elected as one of the Vice-Presidents and Dasho Sangay Ngedup (Bhutan) as one of the Vice-Chairmen of The Work of WHO in SEA 1 Committee B. In addition, delegates from Bangladesh and Myanmar from SEA Region were included in the Committee on Nominations. India was elected to designate a person to serve as a Member of the Executive Board for a term of three years, to fill the vacancy created by one of the outgoing Members (Indonesia) from the South-East Asia Region on completion of its term.
