​MP Mohammad Al-Marai'ah stated that the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company paid the price of change, noting that "they caused it to sustain losses and made it appear as a losing entity," pointing out that Amer Al-Majali, who took over the first time after Walid Al-Kurdi left, "faced penalties through tasking the company with matters beyond its capacity."
​Al-Marai'ah indicated to Rum that the decision by Hani Al-Mulki's government to remove 500 million tons of "gypsum" from Aqaba at an estimated cost of nearly 50 billion dinars, along with the company not obtaining a concession, constituted a "punishment," which drove Al-Majali to submit his resignation during his second term.
​He highlighted the health insurance issue at the Phosphate company, noting that while the company's profits reach billions, the cost of health insurance does not exceed 10 million dinars, yet "they do not want to solve it," according to Al-Marai'ah's statement to Rum.
​He explained that the private sector is managing Phosphate and that "Phosphate has been emptied of its substance," pointing out that the Al-Hasa mine is closed due to a lack of phosphate "according to their vision," while the company simply wants to close the area.
​Al-Marai'ah affirmed that the current chairman of Phosphate "did not bring any new projects, reduced the workforce and management, and froze certain authorities," noting that the buyer itself has not changed since the days of Walid Al-Kurdi.
