and Parliamentary Affairs
Musa Maaytah, the ministry’s Secretary-General Ali

representatives, as well as a number of specialists and experts.
ESC President
Musa Shteiwi said in a press release
issued by the council on Sunday that the Royal Discussion Papers and the
outcomes of the Royal Committee to Modernize the Political System are some of
the most important milestones of political development in decades, and that political
action had become collective and organized through political parties, which had
become an integral part of the political system.
Shteiwi said that political work has become more
collaborative and organized due to political parties, which have become an
integral part of the political system, adding, however, that political
development in Jordan continues to face some challenges, such as, the huge
trust gap between government institutions and citizens, the absence of a
national political development strategy in the programs of consecutive
governments, the decline in women’s political representation, and the absence
of follow-up, evaluation and development programs for civil society
organizations.
Maaytah stressed the importance of dialogue with political
bodies, and of listening to different points of view in order to arrive at
recommendations that will contribute to enriching and improving the work of
decision makers.
Khawaldeh, said that it is difficult to monitor government
plans when many partners are responsible for implementing them, including the
media and civil society institutions.
