Jordan's ministers: Forced "sleep" in the bed of "ghosts"

The “ghosts” that the minister works with in any Jordanian government seem very funny at times, because listening to the Jordanian minister complaining and grumbling or trying to defend himself leads to a sure conclusion that the poor ministers sleep and wake up with these ghosts. Of course, this is an expressive metaphor, but it is one of the kind that pushes to talk even a little bit about these ghosts, not out of sympathy with any minister, but out of touching on a page that is completely silent and always titled “How and the mechanism of decision-making in the Council of Ministers.”

The first ghost, the leader of ghosts and its undisputed master is how to cross between the mines of senior officials of other sovereign institutions that the government shares its bed with, forcing it to sleep with it sometimes and interfering in the details of the details.

Here it is no secret that the prime minister - that is, a prime minister - usually devotes more than 70 percent of his time to a complex task called "satisfying the employees of the palace institution"... What is striking is that the relationship between the palace institution as a source of decision, direction and policy-making and the seat of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers Originally governed by the text away from ijtihad, where the royal assignment letters, but some presidents exaggerate in consultation, asking for aid and support, and solving their problems due to the multiplicity of references.

The real ghost here is not sovereign institutions in terms of what they want and do not want only, but rather spend a lot of time measuring, approaching and balancing the difference between what the mind of the state wants and its decision, and what senior officials can want in that mind, which allows diligence sometimes and personalization.

Satisfying senior officials is not an easy task. Rather, it is complicated and requires a minister of the type “Tom Cruise” at least always. Any party can distort the biography and reputation of any minister, making him appear either as a dinosaur or a bald liberal, or only sluggish, slow and flabby, accusations packaged in the form of Ghosts haunt the minister in all the corridors and curtains of his ministry, and usually result in a large group of small ghosts that dance, obstruct, watch, or gossip with or against the minister from within his ministry, and sometimes among his senior employees and advisors, even from his secretary in some details.

The minister in Jordan is nothing more than a poor person who needs to please everyone through the reincarnation of a state of suspicion, and the word of everyone begins with the people and the senior residents of the upper classes and ends with members of Parliament and tribal sheikhs, and even the employee responsible for bringing coffee to his Excellency, and any minister, no matter how knowledge and experience you see it working as if The wind is under him, because he is simply jumping between small, medium and large ghosts, while everyone in the street and the state criticizes him and accuses him of “failing to make a decision.”

How can a person make any decision while he sleeps afraid and worried about a giant ghost, while he wakes up and deals with small ghosts, especially the segment of employees who sometimes spy on their minister, or from representatives of transparency and corruption control bodies who work within the cadre, and they can professionalism or slander.

It is not only about satisfying the leadership and the head of the state, that is the aspiration of the great before the minister, and the secret of the stability of the state, but also satisfying the security institutions, or avoiding angering them and satisfying the sovereign institutions and the multiple diagnostic centers, where ghosts wear the costume of patriotism or the dress of truth and truth, and sometimes smart ghosts They are very capable of obstructing the minister under his shadow. Some of them are very educated and professional in making incinerators for any minister.

A third ghost is very funny. His idea is that the minister in the local situation becomes a minister and an hour after taking the oath, he deals daily with every detail that tells him that the title of a former minister or “resigned” or “region of the first amendment” is very close, as there is not a single minister in the Jordanian governments He is confident and assured of his presence for a whole month in his job, while the specter of pleasing the prime minister, and sometimes his deputy, is widely present in the car, at home, and in the prime minister’s elevator.

The most dangerous ghost is another fellow minister who does not sit with the prime minister except him and considers him the closest, and after his selection from the presidency, he is classified as the most fortunate minister, not a job. In addition to all of this, two giant ghosts impose their shadows harshly and surround the minister, even as he sometimes talks with his children.

The ghost of communication platforms, slander and fabrication, and all the disasters that happen without legal cost on the communication platforms that attack everything. Then the ghost of corruption and anti-corruption bodies that can not hesitate to burn any employee at any moment, which makes taking a decision demanded by the reference in itself a ghostly process par excellence, as the minister works while trying to avoid any possible downfall on suspicion and not by document or evidence.
