He pointed to the government’s longstanding position
in providing a strategic stock of food commodities.
Shboul explained that the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) ranked Jordan number one in the MENA region in terms of the
availability of foodstuffs based on three indicators, namely the availability
of the commodity, its quality, and price.
But Shboul asserted that there will be no salary
increases “in view of the current situation”.
On another issue, Shboul said that the government
has begun discussing the list of new public sector appointee for 2022, and that
its decision will be announced soon, Jo24 reported.
The government will approve the list of new
appointments as soon as it has been discussed, in order to proceed with the
recruitment for vacant posts, he said.
The Public Sector Development Committee is supposed
to conclude its work on June 22. The committee will present recommendations
that will promote the public sector and raise the level of its service, Shboul
said.
Shboul revealed that about 9,000 job seekers had
signed up on the
National Employment Program e-platform “Tashgheel”, according
to Al-Mamlaka TV.
He said that the platform has nearly 26,000 job
opportunities. Adding that the government had allocated JD80 million to support
the program, which aims to offer jobs in the private sector.
