Amman, Jordan— Funded by the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), Jordan has launched a program aimed at better protecting witnesses, whistleblowers and experts involved in corruption cases.

MP Omar Ayasra emphasized  the significance of providing witnesses and whistleblowers with protection during a ceremony held on Monday to launch the project.

“A witness only has to point a finger, and authorities will start the search and come up with evidence,” he clarified.

Ayasra made the comments after recent findings displayed low numbers of reported corruption cases, as people fear ‘social harassment and character assassination’.

Canadian Ambassador Tarik Ali Khan noted that Jordan and Canada were partnering in various cases.

Meanwhile, JTC CEO Hilda Ajeilat said the project would offer training programs, seminars, and educational media campaigns.

Briefing on JAB’s regulatory role, Secretary-General Ibrahim Majali also added that only 10 percent of incoming complaints are followed up, while 90 percent proved untrue thus far.
