Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Senate's Legal Committee on Wednesday rejecting most of the amendments proposed by the Lower House of Parliament on the draft 2013 Public Institutions and Departments Restructuring law.

The Legal Committee refused to dismantle several public institutions and departments, including the Center for Information Technology introduced in 2003, and the Jordanian Commission for Investment Development and Economic Activity (2003), under the pretext that they were introduced under a temporary law which ought to be scrapped and replaced with a permanent law.

The Committee also refused the Lower House's proposal to dismantle the Ombudsman Bureau, Natural Resources Authority, The Audio-Visual Commission, The Insurance Sector Commission, and the Jordan Investment Board.

The Legal Committee also sent its recommendations to the Senate to propose to the government a complete review of the Ombudsman Bureau Law (2008), advising that several loopholes and defects ought to be corrected in the law and presented as a new draft law by the government to parliament for deliberations.
