AMMAN —AlGhad— Premier Dr Omar Razzaz announced a bundle of decisions and bills today, Tuesday, during a press conference at the Prime Ministry, regarding measures on Jordan’s economic, social and service status.
The government will cut JOD150 million off this year’s expenditure, and will decide on the Hybrid Vehicles Tax issue within next week.
He also pledged to install a new programme for cancer patients to ensure their treatment is secure and their dignities intact.

Regulations will be issued soon, he added, for the licensing of private schools, including controls on tuition hikes and teacher salary bank transfer obligations.
As for the MPs Motion to Pardon, Razzaz confirmed that the government is open to discussing the issue.
