Moumani said the government has failed to lay down any plans and programs to stop the increase in unemployment and lower poverty rates in the Kingdom.
Further, she added the government has not allocated any funds for strategic projects to provide jobs for the unemployed whilst calling for allocations in the national budget to reduce poverty.

Ignoring the Lower HouseShe said the government ignored the Lower House by allowing prices to rise and failed to fulfil its duty to protect ordinary people from merchants' greed leading to chaos in the markets with no supervision or accountability.

"The deputy's role has become to intervene by moving from one ministry to another and to mediate to grant employees leave without pay, allowance or promotion for civil servants, although this is the work of the government and thus has no longer time to oversee and/or to legislate,” she said.
