AMAN calls for reforms to support the position of the Palestinian leadership toward the “Deal of the Century”

The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity – AMAN, issued a press release to express its support to the Palestinian leadership, represented by His Excellency, President Mahmoud Abbas, in its position rejecting the Deal of the Century. AMAN warned against being driven by the international attack led by Israel and the USA, which exploits certain administrative ill-practices by some officials to distort the image of the PNA and portray it locally and internationally as the party responsible for the current economic crisis, while acquitting the occupation of any charges of looting our wealth and resources.

In the same time, the Coalition invited the Palestinian leadership to take all necessary measures to strengthen its internal front, reiterating the usefulness of transparent communication with citizens on any violations, failures or mismanagement by any official so that offenders who abuse of their position or public funds may be prosecuted.

AMAN stated that diffusion of frustration and rumors requires full transparency and initiatives to help the government prepare comprehensive national plans that express a political will to combat corruption and regain citizens’ trust. AMAN hopes the government will lead the preparation of a cross-sectoral national plan to strengthen accountability and anti-corruption engaging governmental, nongovernmental and private sectors. It also called for providing all means to achieve the goals of this plan. AMAN further stressed the necessity to confront rumors and prevent misuse of information on public affairs and officials. For this purpose, it recommended promulgation of the law on the access to information.

AMAN Coalition believes that at this stage of our national liberation struggle, it is paramount to confront any mismanagement and prosecute perpetrators who jeopardize public funds. Impunity should not be allowed and a system to protect corruption whistleblowers must be adopted.

AMAN also called for immediate organization of general public elections to restitute the Palestinian political system balance with its three pillars, mainly revitalizing the vital role of the PLC in overseeing the executive power.
