Abu Hassan added that the implementation of governmental procedures will eliminate the governmental bureaucracy and will ensure fairness and integrity in obtaining governmental services, which in turn helps to raise the Jordanian government's performance in managing all sectors.

For his part, Gharaibeh said that there are several bids for the implementation of governmental procedures in many ministries and institutions, adding that the priority of the implementation of e-service will be according to its importance and the number of users.
