AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday received a letter from Rajai Muasher, chairman of the Royal commission tasked with evaluating and following up on the implementation of the Executive Plan of National Integrity Charter.
In his reply to the King’s letter, Muasher pledged “relentless efforts to have the mission accomplished”.
He said the commission will maintain constant consultation and coordination with civil society organisations, political parties, professional associations, youth organisations and citizens to receive their suggestions on a better implementation of the charter’s guidelines and principles.
In a letter the King sent to Muasher assigning him to the mission, he described the charter as a landmark feature on the path of comprehensive reform which seeks to provide a better life for the people through boosting the democratic approach, fostering the values of justice, respecting citizens’ rights and safeguarding their freedoms.
The Executive Plan was endorsed by a national conference held last year, and in December, the King attended a ceremony to launch the National Integrity Charter and Executive Plan, where 2,000 officials, community leaders and representatives of various sectors were present.
The charter addresses major public concerns while its Executive Plan includes a detailed framework and timeline to complete a set of projects and laws to boost national integrity and prevent corruption.
The approved plans and programmes address financial corruption and set guidelines to safeguard public money and assets, uproot corruption in the wider sense of the word and improve services offered to citizens.
Members of the Royal commission are: Hamza Ahmad Haddad, the president of the Economic and Social Council, the president of the board of trustees of the National Centre for Human Rights, Abdul Majeed Thneibat, Abla Abu Olbeh, Wadah Barqawi and Bassem Tweissi.
