This morning, an extraordinary Parliamentary plenary meeting will debate and vote on Government's proposal to authorize a special transfer of $140 million from the Petroleum Fund to finance state activities during July and August. La'o Hamutuk supports this proposal, which does not change existing laws and complies with the letter and the spirit of Timor-Leste's solid system for managing money from oil and gas exports, as well as with recommendations we recently discussed with Parliament.
The proposed law, with explanatory materials, is here in English or Portuguese. Read more about this issue and our analysis.

After very long day, two reports by Committee C, and vituperative partisan debate, the Parliamentary plenary approved this law at 10:15 pm Friday night by a party-line vote of 35 in favor, 25 opposed and three abstentions. It will shortly be sent to President Lu Olo, who will decide whether to promulgate it.
