Dear All, Jordan Transparency Center, along with its volunteers and counterparts have been revising the ATI a few months ago. JTC has recently and successfully managed to form a national consortium for legislative reforms. The Consortium is composed of 27 CSOs and 23 activists from Law and Media firms.
In today's meeting, the members of the Consortium discussed the amendments proposed by the government to the parliament for discussion and endorsement. These minor amendments are insufficient and inadequate. The legal committee of the Consortium met seven times over the past few months, and came up with a recommendation that is to revert the law to the prime ministry. The Coalition has approached the Parliament and requested for a meeting with the concerned committees to discuss with them the needs for the change of the law. The Consortium will also meet the national steering committee, royal committee for the NIS, private sector, political parties, anti corruption entities and media to get their support and push for this change. Will keep you updated.
