AMMAN — House Speaker Mazen Al-Qadi has directed the Parliamentary Labor Committee to exercise the highest levels of accuracy and objectivity in its upcoming discussions regarding the draft Social Security Law, urging the committee to ensure all viewpoints are heard while keeping the interests of the nation and its citizens at the forefront.
​Al-Qadi’s directives were delivered during his attendance at a press conference organized by the Parliamentary Committee on Labor, Social Development, and Population, which was held to present its action plan for reviewing the amended draft law.
​Expressing deep respect for the "Fourth Estate," Al-Qadi emphasized the absolute necessity of media presence during all parliamentary discussions concerning the bill. He noted that media oversight is crucial for maintaining transparency and keeping the public fully informed of the legislative process.
​The Speaker highlighted that these discussions are unfolding during sensitive security circumstances, which require unprecedented unity, cooperation, vigilance, and national responsibility from all parties involved.
​Describing the Social Security Law as a highly sensitive and pivotal issue that touches the core of Jordanian societal security, Al-Qadi called for a broad and in-depth dialogue. He stressed that the goal is to achieve balanced outcomes that consider the interests of all stakeholders, safeguarding the rights of subscribers while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Social Security Corporation.
​Al-Qadi reaffirmed that the House of Representatives faces a major national responsibility to execute its legislative duties with the utmost seriousness, carefully studying the draft and making necessary amendments where required.
​In a candid remark, Al-Qadi noted that if previous stages had seen full commitment to applying and monitoring the law by those in charge—clarifying this was a statement of fact rather than mere criticism—the current stage of requiring these essential amendments might have been avoided. He concluded that the current adjustments are strictly necessary to correct the course and prevent any future institutional pitfalls.
