In Jordan, a member of the legislative authority (the Representatives) is considered a representative, deputy, and delegate of the entire people in achieving the public interest. As soon as a representative joins the House of Representatives, he relinquishes his capacity as a representative of his constituency, to become a representative of the interests of the entire nation. Accordingly, he is entrusted with achieving the public interest by performing the various legislative, oversight, and financial roles of the House of Representatives, under the provisions of the Constitution and the bylaw regulating the functioning of the National Assembly. Considering the legislative, political, and financial role of a member of the House of Representatives, it is not permissible for him to adhere to regional considerations during his parliamentary exercise because this would disturb the concept of the public interest that may clash often with regional motives. Rather, he must be keen to perform his three legislative, oversight, and financial roles with complete impartiality and integrity, and to devote himself to performing these roles, which are among the most serious functions because it represents the gateway to progress, development, and the best way to achieving democracy in the Kingdom of Jordan.
