More gov’t employees subject to Illicit Gains Law

 

The Jordan Times

 

AMMAN — The Lower House on Sunday added employees of the Jordan Customs Department, Greater Amman Municipality, Income and Sales Tax Department and Department of Land and Survey to the list of public employees included in the amendments to the Illicit Gains Law.
 
Employees are required to present financial disclosures with details about their movable and immovable assets and those owned by their spouses and minor children, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 
 
These financial disclosures should be delivered in sealed envelopes to the Justice Ministry’s financial disclosure department. 
 
The 2018 amendments to the law expanded the employees subject to the financial disclosure requirement to include heads and members of ad hoc municipal councils, executive directors of municipalities and heads and members of governorate councils. The bill also allowed the Council of Ministers to subject any job to the law. 
 
During the Chamber’s Sunday session, Prime Minister Omar Razzaz described the bill as important, welcoming any proposals to include new employees under the draft law.
 
Razzaz also directed concerned ministers to visit all governorates and prepare a detailed report on their infrastructure needs, prior to enlisting them as national priorities in the draft state budget law.
