National Salvation Government Exposes Saudi-backed Government’s Lies
SANAA, Jan. 1 (YPA) – The National Salvation Government has refuted the pretext of the “Hadi government” to justify its suspension of the transfer of salaries of retired employees, the judiciary and the Ministry of Health, and totally denied the banks’ apology for receiving and spending salaries.
“The mercenary government claimed that it had received a letter from banks in Sanaa apologizing for its inability to pay salaries. This comes within its lies and its efforts to evade the Swedish agreement,” a source in the National Salvation Government said on Tuesday.
The source confirmed in a press statement that “the mercenary government has never transferred salaries through banks in Sana’a, but has contracted with Al-Karimi bank exclusively.”
He added: “The mercenary government terminated its contract with Al-Karimi Bank by the end of 2019,” he said.
“There is a dispute between them and Al-Karimi Bank over the value of the commission to renew the contract, ” he added.
The source reported that Hadi’s government had used the dispute to renege on its obligations.
He said: “The government of mercenaries employed the dispute between them and the Bank of Karimi in an attempt to evade its obligations and to pass its conspiracies on the national currency.”
The source added in his press statement: “The lies of the mercenary government are evident by the fact that the banks in Sana’a and The Bank of Al-Karimi did not deal with the illegal currency until it apologized for the payment of salaries.”
“In a letter to the head of the mercenary government, the Aden Chamber of Commerce criticized the negligence in the integrity of the foreign exchange reserves and the integrity of the exchange rate management of the national currency,” the government source in Sanaa said.
“The letter described the policies of the mercenary government as “leading to panic, a return to instability, a destabilizing confidence and security, and confirmed that humanitarian aid to Yemen is worth billions of dollars a year and has had no effect,” he said.
The source said that the letter “clearly indicates that the mercenary government manipulated and plundered these funds at the expense of the continued economic decline”.
Hadi’s government has suspended its transfer of salaries to part of the state employees on the grounds that Sanaa’s banks have apologized for receiving salaries and spending them because of Sanaa’s central bank’s ban on the illegal handling of the new currency.
For 39 months, Hadi’s government has continued to suspend the salaries of nearly 1 million state employees, out of a total of 1.35 million who do not live in the provinces under control of the Saudi-led coalition forces and its militias.
