Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology has denied what has been publicized that JISM director-general Dr.Yasin Khayat has been apprehended on light of corruption charges.

A statement was sent to different media stations stating that Mr. Khayat was apprehended, but an official has said that this e-mail has nothing to do with any true information and it was sent from unidentified persons due to hatred issues from those who wish the institution to fail.
