economic reform, said State Minister for Media Affairs, Faisal Al-Shboul.

Shboul said Sunday
that legislation pertaining to political modernization, represented by laws
governing political parties, elections and relevant constitutional amendments,
will have a far-reaching impact, according to AmmanNet.
On a committee to
develop the public sector, headed by the prime minister, Shboul said it will
announce the outcome of its work in mid-June. The minister said the core will
be developing the public sector’s administrative tasks whose performance has
slipped in the past few years.
Shboul revealed
that the government will announce major projects in conjunction with the
Kingdom’s celebrations of Independence Day on May 25, marking the entry of the
Centenary of the formation of the Jordanian state. Notably among the projects
is the National Water Carrier, he added.
Shboul pointed to other projects that will be
announced successively, such as The Teaching Hospital Project funded by the
Saudi-Jordan investment Fund, and the railway project between Aqaba and
Madouneh. He said the projects will contribute to moving the economy and
creating job opportunities.
Commenting on
poultry shortages during Eid Al-Fitr holiday, Shboul said there were multiple
reasons involved, such as an increased demand by restaurants and
slaughterhouses closing down shop to mark the holiday.
He asserted that the supply returned to normal on Sunday,
and that Poultry prices are close to last
year’s.
