Eng. Musa Awni Al-Sakat issued an official statement announcing his decision not to run in the 2026 elections for the Chambers of Industry. Al-Sakat emphasized that his decision stems from a conviction that the upcoming phase requires a fundamental review of the industrial representation framework and its mechanisms.
Key Points of the Statement
Call for Representation Reform: Al-Sakat highlighted that out of approximately 18,000 industrial facilities in Jordan, over 15,000 are small enterprises that lack direct electoral representation. He called for updating representation frameworks to ensure equity and direct participation for enterprises of all sizes.
Alignment with Economic Modernization: He stressed that updating the national economy must be accompanied by modernizing the representative bodies of the private sector to effectively influence economic decision-making.
National Dialogue on Private Sector Governance: Al-Sakat advocated for a serious national dialogue regarding legislation and private sector representation to align the industrial, commercial, and agricultural sectors while fostering integration over rivalry.
Continued Commitment Outside Electoral Seats: He reaffirmed that serving Jordanian industry and enhancing product competitiveness does not depend on holding an official seat, pledging to continue supporting investment, local production, employment, and export development.
