Deputies boycott parliament over government absence
A number of Jordanian parliament members staged a protest today against the absence of Prime Minister Dr. Jafar Hassan and several government officials during a discussion of the draft law on accreditation and quality assurance. The MPs withdrew and expressed their objection to continuing the session in the absence of the government, after the speaker of the House rejected a request to adjourn and postpone the session. Despite attempts to vote on adjourning the session, the required number was not reached, and the discussions continued. Meanwhile, some MPs reclaimed their seats, as frustration grew among members over the government's absence at a time when its presence was needed to discuss important legislative issues.
