During a visit to the General Budget Department, Ensour stressed the need to complete drafting the 2016 state budget law, in addition to the law governing the budgets of independent public agencies, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

These laws will be deliberated and endorsed by the Cabinet and then sent to the Lower House, before the inauguration of Parliament’s ordinary session in mid-November.
