The campaign will
test the cleanup efficiency of municipal authorities across the Kingdom to
determine the best one. Kreishan said the winning municipality will receive a
prize of JD3 million. The competition had caught the attention of His Majesty
King Abdullah II when it was first launched in 2019.
Kreishan said that
the prize will be given to honor the role of municipalities in unwaveringly
cleaning up our environment to insure the health of citizens, to protect and
preserve our natural resources, our parks, and recreational areas.
The minister also
urged the various municipal committees, members, executive officers, and
workers to spare no effort at working towards winning the prize, which will be declared
in October this year.
The prize aligns with
the goals of King Abdullah in maintaining a clean environment in cities,
villages, the
countryside, Badia, and the camps in cooperation with various
national sectors, Kreishan said.
Kreishan also
expressed his appreciation to the country and all Jordanians, adding that the
His Majesty wants the officials to follow up on their duties, work, and
responsibilities in the field and to stay close to citizens to address their
needs as much as possible.
