Cabinet reviews King's
letter on anti-corruption commission
The Cabinet, during its weekly session on Tuesday, reviewed His Majesty King
Abdullah's letter in which he directed the government to form an independent
anti-corruption commission. The Council of Ministers decided to refer initial
ideas on the new commission's draft law to its legal committee and then to the
legislative bureau. Once approved by the Cabinet, the draft law will be added to
the extraordinary session agenda, and referred to Parliament with urgency
status, Minister of Culture and Government Spokesperson Asma Khader said
yesterday.
