Islah reveals massive corruption in pro-coalition government

ADEN, Dec. 03 (YPA) – A pro-Islah party journalist and close to Hadi’s dismissed deputy, General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, revealed massive corruption in the government, loyal to the Saudi-led coalition.

Saif al-Hadhri, the editor -in- chief of “Akhbar al-Youm” newspaper of the Yemeni Islah Party, said in a tweet that “one of the senior officials receives a monthly personal credit of 386 million riyals, and 92,000 dollars in monthly salary.”

“Despite this, grants were approved for his children and grandchildren.”

He continued: “I am not exaggerating. I am talking about information and correct figures that I am held accountable for.”

The disclosure of the corruption scandal  comes in response to the deduction of Maeen Abdul Malik  government for one and a half billion from the budget of the Ministry of Defense in that government, allocated for  Ali Mohsen.

In early October, the Sana’a government took a decision to stop the looting and theft of Yemeni oil by the coalition in response to its refusal to allocate its revenues to pay the salaries of employees, instead of using them to finance its ongoing war on Yemen for the eighth year, and to allocate crumbs of it to its loyalists.
