During a
Lower House session Wednesday, Khasawneh announced that the government has allocated an additional
JD12.5 million in 2023 for the Student Support Fund, at the request of
Parliament.
He pointed out that the
government successfully covered 100 percent of university students, who applied to benefit
from grants and loans from the fund during 2022.
Government's concern over citizens'
interestsKhasawneh emphasized that the
government has been working diligently around the clock to facilitate the lives
of citizens. He stated that the government exhibits concern and fear over
citizens' interests, which refutes allegations that it takes measures in the
opposite direction.
The PM also announced that the
government, with the House speakership and its permanent office, has reached a
clear mechanism regarding
medical exemptions provided for eligible citizens who
are not covered by health insurance services.
Khasawneh pointed out that about
4,000 to 5,000
medical exemptions were issued to ineligible people, and half of
them were covered by civil or military health insurance services.
Diplomatic corps systemKhasawneh noted that the diplomatic corps
system has governed diplomats' appointments in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates for decades, and any amendments to the system are made through
the Ministerial Legal Committee in Legislation and Opinion Bureau.
He clarified that the diplomatic
corps system is the controlling mechanism for appointing diplomats in a
competitive framework at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.
Khasawneh emphasized that the Cabinet and the government do not pay a price secretly or publicly in return
for approval of legislation.
He added that the government
distances itself from this matter within the framework of its constitutional
responsibility and within the framework of the country's national culture.
