My Selection for Jordan's 30 influential people 2008

Monday, June 23, 2008

Jordan Business Magazine is yet aiming to identify the 30 most influential people in Jordan (apart from the Royal Family) and for this purpose have designed a good voting system. The results should apear in the July edition.

Here is my own list of the most influential 30 persons. The list should be divided by three categories, with 10 names in each. In my humble opinion, the second category of business can include 15 persons with only 5 in the third "influential" category

I have to make it clear that this list does not represent my "favourites list" but rather the actual, unfortunate balance of powers in the country!

Politics:

Abdel Raouf Rawabdeh

Abdel Hadi Majali

Abdul Karim Doghmi

Akel Beltaji (should be in business)

Basem Awadallah

Humam Said

Khalil Attiyah

Nader Dhahabi

Omar Maani (should be in business)

Zaid Rifai

Business:

Abdel hamid Shoman

Akram Abu Hamdan

Elia Nuqul

Fadi Ghandour

Haidar Murad

Hamdi Tabba'

Hosni Abu Gheida

Mufleh Akel

Samir Rifai

Ziad Al Manasir

Influential:

Ahmad Obeidat

Fahed Fanek

Imad Hajjaj

Khaled Toukan

Leith Shbeilat

Mohamad Al Wakeel

Saleh Armouti

Samir Hiyari

Sultan Edwan

Waddah Khanfar

A reflection of a male chauvinist society. I really feel bad about almost 25 names out of the 30 I selected, but this is our "real influential list".

With all due respect Mr. Wardam, I think your list is flawed. The reason is that only contain names that are well known and are in the news ever day. the real influential people, those that really decide what goes on, shy from publicity as much as possible!

Hareega and the guy with an attitude with his name; this list is derived from what Jordan Business has produced. So basically Ouedi was not on the list and the other shy and happy people were not there also!!
