Ammon News - The Lower House Finance Committee on Sunday heard clarifications from concerned authorities on violations related to Ministry of Agriculture and Hashemite Fund for the Development of the Jordan Badia (HFDJB), which were mentioned in Jordanian Audit Bureau (JAB)'s reports for 2018, 2019 and 2020, consecutively.

Its chairman, MP Mohammad Saudi, said the committee were briefed on the irregularities that surfaced following a sudden inspection on main warehouses in Amman's Jawa region, which showed expired chemical substances under bad storage conditions, adding that a panel was formed to investigate this issue.

In the same sector, Saudi said rectifying violations related to Waala Agricultural Station's records in central Madaba governorate is still ongoing.

Meanwhile, Salt agriculture directorate's file has been transferred to the judiciary, he said, adding that 2019 violations in Agricultural Credit Corporation (ACC) are still being rectified.

In another meeting, Saudi said clarifications related to HFDJB focused on administrative and financial aspects.

HFDJB violations are related to the fund's financial systems, which were renewed and uploaded to the new network, and duly linked with Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, he said, adding that these regulations are awaiting Cabinet approval.
