AMMAN — The
Amman Group for Future Dialogues warned in a
statement on Tuesday of a “major and dangerous social explosion”, contending
that the conditions that led to the gas leak at the Aqaba Port are present in
most ministries, institutions, and departments of the state, which builds up
anger and tension among citizens who deal with these entities.

The group said that the report by the investigation committee, headed by
the minister of interior, confirmed that negligent practices, flaunted safety
regulations, a lack of leadership, and biased recruitment, among others, led to
the chlorine gas leak on June 27.
All these elements
of negligence and indifference cited in the report are found in an
“overwhelming majority” of government departments, the group said; a fact that
is consistently referred to in the media. The group stressed that this state of
affairs is bound to have “serious” consequences if not addressed.
The group called
for a complete reform of the government’s administrative institutions to put an
end to ongoing indifference and negligence.
