During a meeting at Al-Husseiniya Palace with heads of permanent
committees at the House of Representatives, King Abdullah stressed seriousness
in implementing the political, economic, and administrative modernization
tracks.
His Majesty urged the House’s permanent committees to practice their
oversight role to ensure ministries’ commitment to modernization plans, citing
public administration reform as a major challenge.
The King noted that the committees should reach out to various sectors
and listen to the public’s concerns and suggestions, stressing the need for
continuous positive engagement with citizens to maintain transparency.
The meeting covered regional and international issues, foremost of which
is the Palestinian cause, with His Majesty reaffirming that the priority is to
support the Palestinian people and safeguard Islamic and Christian holy sites
in Jerusalem.
For their part, House of Representatives Speaker Ahmad Al-Safadi and
heads of the permanent committees spoke about amending the House’s internal
bylaw to enhance performance and increase public trust in the chamber.
They highlighted the importance of the three modernization tracks and
the need for collaboration in their execution, noting that implementation of
the Economic Modernization Vision will be the benchmark to assess the
government’s performance.
Heads of the House’s permanent committees said there is a need to
actively engage women in modernization, adding that focusing on the services-related
mandate of municipal and governorate councils will enable members of Parliament
to focus on their legislative and oversight roles.
In addition, they reiterated the need to bolster the rule of law, and to
reward achievements and penalize shortcomings in public administration.
Royal Hashemite Court Chief Yousef Issawi and Director of the Office of
His Majesty Jafar Hassan attended the meeting.
