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.
