Lower House says reports on increase to MPs’ allocations ‘baseless’

AMMAN — The Lower House’s permanent office on Sunday refuted as baseless news reports about increasing MPs’ financial allocations, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The office also said in a statement that increasing lawmakers’ allocations is, in principle, not an easy decision to make as it requires changing the public budget law.

Underling that deputies’ allocations have not been changed since ten years, the House said that spreading such “rumours” is part of the trend to circulate false information on social media networks.
