Supreme Political Council proposes economic initiative to disburse salaries to all Yemenis

SANAA, July 1 (YPA) – The Supreme Political Council on Monday has proposed a unilateral initiative regarding staff salaries.

In the framework of the Stockholm agreement, in its economic side, included the inclusion of all the country’s revenues from both parties in order to pay the salaries of employees.

In light of the hard situation endured by the Yemeni people as a result of the unjust Saudi blockade, unjust economic restrictions, the interruption of salaries of the employees of the Republic of Yemen, and in order to remove all allegations and justifications that contribute to the continued suffering of the Yemeni people, the Supreme Political Council has proposed a unilateral initiative regarding staff salaries.

The initiative suggests opening a special account in the branch of the Central Bank of Yemen in Hodeidah province, and to supply all revenues of the three ports (Hodeidah, Ras Issa and al-Salif) to this special account in order to pay salaries to all Yemenis

The Council stated that it holds the other party responsible in case of evasion of the deal.

It also noted that the Saudi-led party should bear all the consequences that might resulted from the the continued unjust economic restrictions and its use of the economy as an instrument of war, aggression, starvation and bargaining.
