AMMAN — Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Nasser Al-Shraideh said on Monday that abolishing any independent body or returning its tasks to the relevant ministry would create a legislative and regulatory vacuum, which would affect the economic sectors, according to Khaberni.اضافة اعلان

Shraideh stressed that the Public Sector Modernization Committee needs to complete technical studies, to consider the jobs and tasks assigned to it.

Shraideh said that previous studies related to independent bodies focused on financial costs and reducing them as its main goal, but most of the existing bodies in Jordan are linked to applicable laws and legislation, and they cannot be abolished without reformulating that legislation.

Shraideh indicated that there are jobs and tasks related to technical and administrative capabilities in these independent bodies, adding that “we do not want to make an administrative or legal decision that affects the private sector.”
