Amman, Nov. 16 (Petra) -- The Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission said Sunday it is following up on statements attributed to a Jordanian investor and circulated by several media outlets, in which the investor claimed he had faced pressure and obstacles.

The Commission said it treated the published remarks as a formal report and contacted the investor to hear his account. It added, in a statement to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), that the investor had earlier filed a complaint against the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission after it declined to grant him a license to establish a fuel station within the premises of Queen Alia International Airport.

According to the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission, an investigation into the complaint found that the committee responsible for issuing such licenses had rejected the request due to security considerations related to air traffic safety. The proposed site is located approximately 130 meters from the security fence of the airport’s northern runway, which is equipped with navigational aids and emergency landing lights.

The Commission underscored its commitment to prioritizing investment-related issues to uphold integrity and fairness, protect investors’ rights and interests, and prevent any violations against them. It also reaffirmed that it welcomes all complaints submitted to the Commission.

It added that user-friendly communication channels have been established for citizens and investors to file complaints, including a dedicated window for receiving and tracking investor cases in accordance with the law. Complaints may also be submitted through the Commission’s website, mobile application, and social media platforms.
