AMMAN Assistants to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, MP Attorney Malik Al-Tahrawi and MP Dr. Rania Abu Rumman, emphasized the importance of strengthening the legislative and oversight roles of Parliament. They stressed the necessity of amending the internal bylaws to align with the political modernization system and enhance party and bloc-based work, alongside reviewing legislation and procedures related to countering terrorism and extremism. Speaking during their appearance on the 'Ghubat Al-Barlaman' (Parliament Dome) program broadcast by Al-Mamlaka TV, Al-Tahrawi and Abu Rumman stated that the Permanent Bureau of the House, under the leadership of Dr. Ibrahim Al-Tarawneh, adopts a participatory institutional approach based on teamwork, respect for ideological diversity, and the engagement of parliamentary blocs and independent MPs in discussions surrounding parliamentary performance to serve the national interest. Amending Internal Bylaws and Institutional Work Al-Tahrawi confirmed that amending the House's internal bylaws is a top priority for the upcoming stage to keep pace with political modernization, empower parliamentary blocs, and expand their role in executing legislative and oversight duties. He noted that the current bylaws grant individual MPs broader powers than those allocated to parliamentary blocs, necessitating a revision to solidify institutional action and enable political blocs to collectively express their positions. Regarding the formation of permanent parliamentary committees, Al-Tahrawi explained that the approach relies on consensus among parliamentary blocs; if consensus cannot be reached, elections will be conducted according to the internal regulations. He stressed the importance of completing committee assignments to enable immediate commencement of legislative and oversight work, emphasizing the need for balance between legislative sessions and regular oversight sessions. Parliamentary Motion to Tighten Counter-Terrorism Legislation For her part, MP Dr. Rania Abu Rumman stated that confronting terrorism and extremism requires a comprehensive review of existing legislation and enforcement procedures rather than merely increasing penalties. She revealed that a parliamentary motion signed by more than 80 MPs has been initiated, demanding stiffer penalties, preventive measures, and harsher sentences for anyone who interferes, harbors, or conceals information related to terrorist crimes. Abu Rumman noted that while the Anti-Terrorism Law already includes severe penalties—up to capital punishment and life imprisonment with hard labor—confronting extremist ideology requires strengthening preventive procedures, particularly regarding the handling of individuals convicted of terrorism offenses after completing their sentences. She added that there is a legislative direction to amend relevant laws to allow preventive measures before the release of terrorism convicts. This would occur through a specialized committee comprising relevant security and administrative authorities to assess whether convicts still adhere to extremist ideology and evaluate their potential danger to society. Abu Rumman highlighted the importance of structured coordination between the Ministry of Interior, administrative governors, security agencies, and specialized entities to evaluate cases well before release dates, thereby reinforcing preventative security measures and protecting society from extremism. Both Al-Tahrawi and Abu Rumman concluded by reiterating that successful parliamentary work relies on partnership and integration among the Permanent Bureau, parliamentary blocs, and independent members, placing national security, public interest, and citizens' concerns at the forefront of legislative priorities.
