State Minister for Media Affairs Faisal Shboul said that the political modernization system and the Economic Modernization Vision need an appropriate administrative environment.
In an interview with Jordan Television’s “60 Minutes” program on Friday, Shboul said the Committee to Modernize the Public Sector, chaired by the prime minister, constitutes a national effort in this regard and includes experts from the private and public sectors.
Shboul said that the public sector modernization map will be submitted to the Cabinet for study as the ministerial committees and sectoral teams to be formed to start implementing it, stressing the government’s openness to any ideas, objective observations or constructive criticism raised in this regard.
He pointed out that the government will start applying the first models of the public sector modernization map, which includes the establishment of the first comprehensive center for government services in the Muqablain area, indicating the government’s intention to expand the idea of this center and circulate it to all governorates through the establishment of 15 comprehensive government centers next year.
Commenting on the abolition of the Labor Ministry, Shboul said law enforcement tasks in relation to the ministry will be carried out by other government institutions such as the Ministry of the Interior.
Al-Shboul said that one of the main subjects of the public sector modernization map is the employee, stressing that the government does not aim to dispense with any employees’ services, but rather seeks to train and re-qualify them, in addition to digitizing procedures in order to facilitate access to service.
Commenting on Children rights bill, the minister said the draft law was submitted to the Lower House, where the legislators have the right to amend or delete some articles, in addition to their right to a final vote on the entire law.
