Minister of State for Media Affairs, Faisal Shboul, said that the formation of the Public Sector Modernisation Committee is the third track of the comprehensive modernization within the royal directive, which the government is working on, in conjunction with political and economic modernisation tracks.
Shboul told the Jordan News Agency (Petra), that the development of the Jordanian public administration is a commitment that the government pledged in its statement before Parliament, which included “taking all necessary measures to rejuvenate the Jordanian public administration and address deficiencies that have recently emerged in the public sector.”
Shboul, who is also the government spokesperson sais that “the prime minister chairing the committee reflects the government’s commitment to this endeavor, and a confirmation of the need to bring about a qualitative change in the process of modernisation of public administration and services.”
The committee will review the public sector landscape, spot areas of deficiencies to rectify and areas of achievement to strengthen and build on. He stressed that the government, based on the committee’s recommendations, will take concrete measures that contribute to raising the efficiency of government institutions, streamlining their performance, and improving the level of services provided to citizens.
Shboul pointed out that the committee’s work will focus on how to make a qualitative leap in government services and automate them to improve citizens journeys and save their time, effort and costs, in addition to activating the principle of reward and punishment in a way that guarantees rewarding the distinguished employee who is keen on achievement and taking the necessary measures against those who obstruct achievement and impede the provision of services to citizens.
He noted that the Jordanian public administration has played, for decades, a pivotal role in the renaissance of Jordan and has provided services to many countries, and has always set an example and proved its ability to work and achieve in the darkest conditions, reaffirming the government’s keenness to rejuvenate the public administration and bridge the trust gap between citizens and public institutions.
