A Cabinet session held Thursday, headed by Prime Minister Dr. Bisher Khasawneh, approved an amended Civil Service Bylaw for 2022.
Under the amendments, the new bylaw enables Jordan’s Judicial Council (JJC) and its affiliated bodies to carry out their tasks, in accordance with the legislation regulating their work, by providing a sufficient number of employees to join those entities from Ministry of Justice’s staff.
In addition, all worker rights will be preserved, in addition to job incentives, bonuses, and privileges allocated to Ministry of Justice’s employees, including their continued subscriptions under the ministry’s Social Solidarity Fund (SSF), under provisions of the civil service bylaw and other related legislation in force.
In a related context, the Council of Ministers approved amended bylaws of JJC General Secretariat, Judicial Institute of Jordan ( JIJ ), technical offices of Court of Cassation, Supreme Administrative Court and Courts of Appeal, and Directorate of Inspection of Regular Courts.
The Cabinet also okayed an amended bylaw unifying salaries and allowances for Public Security Directorate (PSD) personnel for 2022, with the aim of standardizing allowances granted to all PSD officers and servicemen.
The Council also approved the mandating reasons for the project of 2022 Housing Fund Bylaw for Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) employees and referred it to the Legislation and Opinion Bureau (LOB) to follow the fundamental procedures for approval.
On the other hand, the Cabinet approved a reconciliation agreement between Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) and Orange and Umniah companies, with the aim of supporting and stimulating the mobile telecom sector and licensing the fifth generation frequencies.
The Council also decided to approve issuance of the unified Arab stamp 2022, which will be released by Arab postal authorities and bears logo of the upcoming Arab summit to be held in Algeria.
With the aim of continuing to support families and individuals affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, PM Khasawneh decided to extend “Estidama: Sustainability” program, which was launched under Defense Order No. (24) for 2020 and the circulars issued pursuant thereto, until end of next October 2022.
An official communiqué will be issued in the Official Gazette explaining details related to the extension decision.
