During a meeting with the IACC Chairman Muhannad Hijazi, Fayez underscored focusing on witness protection in corruption cases to encourage people to report any suspicion of corruption.
He urged increasing efforts to improve the IACC's regulatory tools and review international reports to redress notes that could advance Jordan on global indicators related to integrity and combating administrative and financial corruption.
