Prime Minister Marouf Bakhit has decided to refer the casino agreement between the Jordanian government and Oasis Company and all procedures taken in this term to an anti-corruption committee to be studied and investigated, according to Petra News Agency.

Bakhit has already promised, while meeting parliamentarian groups, to reopen the casino issue that was previously under debate during his first term in power as a PM in 2007.

This casino issue was and still is one of the first problems that accompanied the appointment of Marouf Al-Bakhit as the Prime Minister, along with the fraud in the results of the parliamentary election.

Prime Minister Bakhit has also decided to lift the ban on local news website at all governmental departments starting Sunday.
