The three
modernization tracks are political, economic, and the public sector
modernization visions.
Speaking on Jordan
TV “60 Minutes” program on Friday, Shboul said the government’s mandate now is
to continue carrying out the first phase of the comprehensive 10-year
modernization program, which are based on set projects and have clear
timeframes.
Shboul, who is
also the government’s official spokesperson, stressed that following the
reshuffle, the government has “new” tasks, primarily to streamline performance,
improve public services, attract investment, contribute to economic
development, and nurture a potentially partisan political environment.
The ministerial
team was reduced from 31 to 27, with three Cabinet members taking over six
ministries, he noted.
This step, he
said, is a “starting point” that will eventually lead to the merging of
ministries, as per the public sector modernization roadmap.
The reshuffled
Cabinet now has five women ministers, up from the three in the previous
Cabinet, and this reflects belief in the importance of women’s participation in
decision-making.
Shboul said that
the legislative aspect of the political modernization process was updated after
the elections and political parties laws, and related constitutional amendments
were approved.
The government, he
said, is tasked with creating an “attractive” political and partisan
environment ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
