ministerial committees and sectoral teams will be formed to implement it.

objective observations or constructive criticism raised in this regard.

applying the first models of the public sector modernization map, which
includes the establishment of the first comprehensive center for government
services in the Muqablain area.
He explained that the government’s intends to expand
the idea of this center and circulate it to all governorates through the
establishment of 15 comprehensive government centers next year.

Shboul said law enforcement tasks in relation to the ministry will be carried
out by other government institutions such as the Ministry of the Interior.
He said that one of the main pillars of the public
sector modernization map is the employee, stressing that the government does
not aim to dispense of any employees’ services, but rather seeks to train and
re-qualify them.
The minister also pointed to digitalizing procedures
to facilitate access to services.
Commenting on Children rights bill, Shboul said that
the draft was submitted to the Lower House, where the legislators have the
right to amend or delete some articles, in addition to their right to a final vote
on the entire law.
In separate comments, the minister said that Jordan
has a response plan to face climate change and reduce emissions by 31 percent
until 2030, according to a local media outlet.
The government
will be responsible for 5 percent of the response plan, while the international
community should contribute 26 percent as part of its international response to
the crisis, which affects the globe, not a country or a region, Shboul said.
