Basic People's Congresses begin their sessions Saturday, 22nd November 2005;10:30. The basic people's congresses across Great Jamahiriya and its administrative regions started their sessions Saturday to lay down the various domestic and external policies of Great Jamahiriya, by discussing topics on their agenda for this year, which they themselves drafted in September. This is in embodiment of the direct people democracy exercised by the free Libyan adults through legislative people's congresses and executive people's committees, the pillar of the unique Jamahiriya system. The number of congregations allocated by the basic people’s congresses to their members in these sessions, which started today totaled 2935 assemblies, comprising general congregations, educational, service, productive, and women assemblies, in order to accommodate the intensive attendance of members for the basic peoples congresses, each of whom is enabled to discuss thoroughly all issues under debate. Jana and Great Jamahiriya broadcasting covered the sessions of the basic peoples congresses across Great Jamahiriya in this distinctive convention, which highlighted in its first day the seriousness of the debate, which began with the first item of the agenda that is the speeches and statements of the leader of the revolution, especially the leader's statement that the basic peoples congresses are the one that draws up domestic and external policies of Libya in all sectors, and that no one from outside the basic peoples congresses would draw up policies, and any thinking that some one from the outside of the basic peoples congresses may do it is but an illusion. The basic people’s congresses are to discuss during its current ordinary session 27 files, which they themselves tabled for discussion. Reports to be submitted to the Basic People’s Congresses (BPCs) are related to the follow-up of the implementation of the Secretariats of the General Peoples Congress, and the General Peoples Committee and their affiliated bodies of the decisions of the BPCs. It can be noted the seriousness of the discussions, at the outset of the meetings today, saying that the masses are serious to attend the sessions and to engage in serious discussions to reflect transparency, freedom and diversity of opinion, the feature of the direct people's democracy, as there is no representations, mandate, exclusion or marginalization, because all Libyans from both genders with their various social segments, educational level, and professional interests have their people's authority. All decisions to be issued pertaining to their agenda would be taken with full awareness and knowledge because responsibility is knowledge. The Editorial Board.
