AMMAN — The head of the Lower House
Legal Committee, Ghazi Al-Thunibat, emphasized that the government lacks options
but to extend the
defense orders, due to the large number of individuals with
enforceable judicial sentences for bad check-related cases alone.

According to Thunibat, over 34,000
individuals would be subject to arrest if the defense order were lifted.
The government, he said, is facing a
crisis and has no choice but to extend the
defense order in light of the
increasing number of those wanted for debt cases. He also mentioned that the
government is looking for solutions to prevent the imprisonment of debtors.
"Under the new
defense order,
the government might go towards reducing the ceiling for those who would be
exempt from prosecution from JD100,000 to JD50,000," Thunibat said.
The proposed reduction in the
ceiling for those exempt from prosecution is aimed at finding a solution to the
crisis and preventing the imprisonment of debtors.
