After years of prolong deliberation, Parliament has successfully passed the Social Protection Bill 2025, marking a significant stride toward comprehensive social welfare. This new legislation is designed to ensure social protection for all citizens, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations and the elderly.
The bill establishes a robust legal framework for the numerous social interventions introduced by past governments. It consolidates these programs and defines the institutional arrangements necessary to provide and manage social protection services effectively.
With its passage, the bill aims to streamline access to these essential services and provide a unified, long-term approach to social welfare in the country.
