AMMAN — The Cabinet on Sunday approved the draft Quality and Consumer Protection Law of 2020, State Minister for Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh said.
The law will be issued for the first time, repealing three laws: The standards and metrology law, the competition law and the consumer protection law, to ensure the quality of domestic products, and to provide health and environmental protection, as well as public safety.
The Cabinet also approved a draft law amending the Illicit Gains Law of 2020, a complementary government measure to enhance integrity and anti-corruption efforts, according to Adaileh.
Under the new bill, perpetrators of illicit gain will be prosecuted, and every "increase, or abnormal growth" to the wealth and assets of any public servant will be regarded as an illegal gain, if public employee fails to "reasonably explain" the source of gain, taking into consideration the volume of the income derived from legitimate sources.
