Jordan faces controversy over labor minister's resignation
Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan asked Minister of Labor Khaled Bakkar to resign due to a conflict of interest involving government tenders submitted by the minister's son. The tenders in question were halted because they conflicted with the ministerial code of conduct. This occurred while Hassan was out of the country, amid heated discussions about whether the king would accept the resignation, as he is responsible for such decisions according to the Jordanian constitution. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has taken over the duties of acting Prime Minister, as official circles await a formal royal decision regarding the appointment of a new minister or the acceptance of the resignation.
