New legislation for Rasmale' deal yet to be sent to Majlis

Members of Parliament say the government has not yet submitted the Real Estate Bill to the Majlis, despite assurances the legislation would precede the Rasmalé land deal granting 500 hectares to UAE-based Eagle Hills. The government targets signing the permanent agreement by November 17, while the Commercial Terms Agreement signed on September 21 remains undisclosed.
