It is not yet known how official internal government and cabinet documents are leaked in sensitive matters such as the resignation of former Labor Minister Khaled Al-Bakkar, or decisions concerning appointments and executive orders.
But, most likely, internal parties are behind the release of documents, letters, memos, and circulars to the public, amid speculation that the issue stems from the “spiteful actions” of disgruntled or angry employees.

Recently, documents related to a tender at the Ministry of Health were leaked, causing embarrassment for the government and influencing the resignation of a minister. Documents related to the Audit Bureau were also published without authorization, and correspondence within the Ministry of Finance, the Budget Department, and even the Prime Minister's office was leaked. Some of these leaks occasionally appear on platforms belonging to the external opposition, providing ammunition for public demands to combat corruption.
As the issue began to take on a security character, it is rumored that investigations have been launched to identify those involved, including former employees of important institutions and in sensitive locations, and may reach the level of criminalization.
In any case, the leak of the documents reveals a state of administrative confusion within the current government, which proclaims itself to be a government of major projects and modernization of the economic vision. The departure of a prominent minister in the government, who has experience in parliamentary work, is not an isolated event from the context of this state of confusion.
The issue of leaks, which has become a problem for Jordanian institutions and ministries, has been compounded by new challenges raised by the “General Inspector” news page, which is gaining increasing presence among citizens and on social media platforms.
Well-known journalists have begun writing about the "Inspector General" and his information and data, amid the impression that the page is run by a retired employee residing in a European country.
This page appears to be run, most likely, from outside the country and is not classified as opposition, but it succeeds in attracting a wide daily interaction, as it relies on leaking documents and information from within the government and the corridors of ministries, which have proven their credibility more than once, suggesting that some official bodies may have sought to keep the page going in order to achieve specific goals.

That page is a vital indicator of the general thirst of Jordanians to interact with information, especially when violations and transgressions occur that the government can be accused of, turning them into vital material in the media and communication, and sometimes into constitutional parliamentary questions, and material for questioning and discussion between the deputies and the government, which finds itself in a difficult and complex situation with the failure to answer.
In conclusion, it appears that those behind the leaks are disgruntled employees for one reason or another, and the source is the public sector. The government cannot accuse the opposition, political parties, or professional unions, because in most cases, the spies are the sons of the government authority.
