JORDANIAN OPPOSITION COALITION ANNOUNCEMENT
Will Release Platform, Mission Statement, Proposed Constitution & Legislative Agenda
(Amman, Jordan) – The Jordanian Opposition Coalition (JOC) today made three announcements. The JOC has:
- Created a new website, located at JordanianOppositionCoalition.com
- Finalized their Platform and Mission Statement – to be released in 2 days
- Finalized their 2021 legislative agenda.
“We are now certain King Abdallah’s regime is clinically dead, and shall go away sooner rather than later, therefore, we are preparing for the at after the regime is gone, and we won’t allow a gap of power like the ones persisting in Libya and Iraq”, Mudar Zahran, Secretary General of the Jordanian Opposition Coalition said. “Our agenda is people based, and designed to address many of the nation’s problems.”
According to Mudar Zahran, “We have based our agenda on our platform, and the proposed, new Constitution, with one aim at mind: serving the Jordanian people.”
“We are preparing for the day after the regime falls,” Zahran added.
The JOC has a very ambitious 2021 Legislative Agenda that consists of the following:
- Political Platform
- New Constitution
- First Aid Awareness Month – First Aid & Covid-19 Education and Protection
- Legislative Immunity
- Jordanian Stock Market reorganization
- Vaccine delivery
- Public Servants and military personnel pay reform.
- Peace and Partnership with Israel
- Highway from Saudi Arabia to Israel
- Tariffs Reform
- Civil Service Pay Raises (Military, Law Enforcement, Gov. Employees, Educators)
- Education Package – funding, expansion, inclusion, curriculum, and small business graduation loans and the nation’s 10 Education Commandments
“We are going to save money, put people to work and make Jordan prosperous,” Zahran said. “The key is making changes in a specific areas to prime Jordan’s economic engine.”
Naseem Gheewan, JOC’s Deputy Secretary General added: “The direction we are taking is novel for our people, and the region”.
According to the Deputy Secretary General, “Introducing laws and making decisions that support our people and strong economic prosperity instead of decisions that sound great but remain simply paper theories is what Jordanians have experienced for decades”
“Our platform also supports the expansion of everyone’s most basic human rights,” Gheewan continued. “Our Constitution and legislation supports the expansion of human, civil, social and economic rights for young and old or male and female regardless of race or religion.”
The JOC is also working on an Unemployment Benefit bill that secures a minimum wage for every individual who is unemployed up to European standards. When asked how will they get the money to do this, Zahran stated “Much of the funding we need to fix many of our programs will come from money that we save by not funding the lavish lifestyle of the royal family.”
In 2020, Jordan’s budget was estimated to be just under $12 Billion, yet it is estimated that the country had at least $36 billion in income. What happened to the money?
The legislation will be released on a daily basis, starting on March 29, 2021. As the legislation is released, it will be posted on the JOC’s website. Each piece of legislation will contain an actual outlined law, the specific language of the proposed law, a press statement supporting the measure and a video.
