Considering the said proposals, the Cabinet of Ministers have granted approval for the proposal submitted by the Minister of Justice, Prison Activities and Constitutional Reforms to instruct the Legal Draftsman to repeal the existing Rent Act No. 7 of 1972 and draft a bill named Securing Residents Act.
