Summary: | The Ombudsman Bureau in Jordan was
established in 2008. It was created to provide an avenue for
redress by citizens for complaints against public sector
bodies - part of the Government s drive to improve the
public sector. Such a body is important in providing checks
and balances in a government dominated by a strong executive
branch. It also provides an alternative process of dispute
resolution to filing cases in courts, thus relieving
pressure on the court system and providing a means of
redress that may prove more accessible than the courts for
certain categories of disputes. |
