Jordan: Ministers Sworn In for Limited Cabinet Reshuffle Boosting Economic Committees
The Jordanian government is preparing for ministers to take their constitutional oath before King Abdullah II, signaling a precise administrative restructuring. This move aims to reinforce executive efficiency without radical changes to the cabinet composition.
Reshuffle Details
The step includes appointing the Minister of Local Administration as Deputy Prime Minister for Municipal Affairs, while Mهند Shihada, the State Minister for Economic Affairs, takes a similar role for economic affairs. The number of deputy prime ministers thus rises to three, maintaining stability across other ministerial portfolios.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the reshuffle focuses on enhancing the work of the Economic Development and Services Committees, accelerating priority projects. No new ministers will join the cabinet, reflecting a desire for continuity and performance.
Constitutional and Administrative Context
This procedure fulfills a constitutional requirement resulting from the merger of the Ministries of Education and Higher Education into a new Human Resources Development portfolio. Azmi Mahafzah is expected to head this merged ministry, while the Ministry of Labor remains under Nuzal Al-Qatawneh's management without change.
This administrative stability reflects Jordan's leadership commitment to effectively addressing economic challenges. The focus remains on improving municipal services and economic support as core pillars of current government policy.
