During separate meetings, the prime minister underlined the government's
commitment to cooperating with the two chambers to implement Royal directives,
serve national interests, and meet the aspirations of Jordanians in various
fields.
Khasawneh also stressed the partnership with the two chambers to ensure the
implementation of the propositions of the Royal Committee to Modernize the
Political System, most importantly approving two draft laws for political
parties and elections and other related constitutional amendments, according to
the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The prime minister briefed the officials on his cabinet reshuffle, pointing out
that the reshuffle is of "an economic nature," as a ministry of investment
will be created instead of the current state ministry for investment affairs,
with the aim of unifying investment references and cutting red-tape.
The government, he underscored, will prioritize the economic aspect and
implement its economic priorities program, which had been submitted to His
Majesty King Abdullah, with the aim of spurring economic recovery after the
COVID-19 pandemic.
For his part, Fayez stressed the Senate's commitment to maintaining cooperation
with the government to implement Royal directives and serve the country and
citizens.
He pointed to the importance of overcoming any obstacles facing investors and
expediting investment request processing, calling for unifying investment
references under one authority. He also stressed the need to protect investors
and enforce the law fairly.
The meeting, Fayez noted, comes within the framework of informing the Senate of
the Cabinet reshuffle and the partnership between the executive and legislative
authorities as per the Constitution, urging a focus on the economy, political
development, and administrative reform.
During the meeting, Odat said that "we have the right to modernize our
political system to expand grassroots participation in decision-making, leading
to a well-established programmatic partisan life."
The next stage, Odat indicated, requires the highest levels of cooperation
between authorities, as the Jordanian state enters its second centenary with
determination and an agreement to strengthen the process of comprehensive
reforms.
He stated that the steps taken to modernize laws regulating political life are
a gateway for other reforms directed by His Majesty, noting that the Jordanian
people are looking forward to these reforms.
