AMMAN — The efforts of
the Jordan Engineers Association board, headed by Abdul Hadi Al-Falahat, and of
third parties failed to convince members of the “Enjaz” political list to change their position
vis-à-vis the amendments to the association law, which were recently approved
by the central commission, according to Al-Rai.

A meeting held
on Sunday to tackle the dispute between the board and Enjaz ended before it
began after Enjaz members called for re-amending the law and further study, said
a source who attended the meeting.
The meeting
was mediated by the head of the Agricultural Engineers Association.
A further
meeting was held on Monday with the aim of tackling the issues and convincing the “Enjaz” members to change
their position, especially after four members of the board resigned.
The proposed
amendments to the JEA
internal laws, which
include proportional
representation and
amendments that enable young people to participate in the decision-making process,
due to lowering the age of candidacy, were approved at the Monday meeting,
which witnessed squabbles among various factions of the association and members
of the board attacked verbally and physically.
Enjaz has
rejected any attempt at reconciliation and ending the dispute so far, according
to the source.
