Corruption is “rooted in the national culture”, especially favouritism and nepotism, which many citizens resort to “secure their basic rights” and the uneven development process in the Jordanian governorates, as well as unfair distribution of gains, especially in governorates far from the capital Amman.

These remarks were made by the Commissioner General of the National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) Mousa Burayzat at a press conference held at the NCHR’s premises on Monday to announce the 2017 report on human rights situation in Jordan, which addressed all aspects of the issue during last year, including improvements and shortcomings.
