the private sector, adding that the case has been turned over to the Integrity
and Anti-Corruption Commission, according to the deputy.

to these hospitals, which have cost the Treasury JD25 million, and if there are
plans to move the equipment to public hospitals. Furthermore, he asked how the
ministry would make use of the buildings erected to house the clinics.
