Parliamentary Committee Addresses Wadi Al-Arab and Irbid Issues
The Parliamentary Administrative Committee focused on addressing several issues related to the regulation of the Jordan Valley's facades. These included reaching agreements with relevant authorities to organize commercial frontages along public roads in the area, through the adoption of a mechanism that allows direct review of applications by the Jordan Valley Authority, provided that the agricultural unit is at least 25 dunams and complies with legal conditions without encroaching on the roads. The committee also discussed canceling the administrative value assessments on property deeds to ease burdens on landowners, emphasizing the protection of agricultural lands and handling any violations according to prevailing prices. It was noted that the expansion of the Potash Company will affect less than 1% of the valley's lands. Additionally, an agreement was reached to regularize the status of around 1,900 seasonal workers in municipalities and convert them to fixed salaries in installments. Their files, especially those holding university degrees, are to be studied by a joint committee to ensure their rights. The Committee also referred the wage differences issue of Irbid Municipality workers to the appropriate authorities for resolution, and discussed improving infrastructure in vital areas, such as the Ghor-Ma'in Road, and ensuring fair water distribution.
