A member of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council and a journalist agree that agreeing on the budget and revenues of Marib and the depository, establishing security units for each of its residents, stopping political discrimination in services, overcoming major differences between its components, paying salaries and combating corruption are challenges and opportunities for the government.
Wadhah bin Attia, a member of the National Assembly of the Southern Transitional Council, and in response to questions from NewsYemen, ranked the government's opportunities and challenges:
I see that the chances of the government’s success lie in the lack of politicization of ministries and economic and service institutions, as happened in the past, so it is not a sin for a citizen to cut his salary or disrupt the access to electricity to him for political partisan motive, because this matter pushes citizens to rebellion and refuse to pay taxes and service fees, and this will threaten success.
The government must collect resources from the regions fairly. Whoever believes that the port of Al-Wadiah, which is the largest Yemeni outlet, does not transfer taxes and customs to the Central Bank, as well as oil sales in hard currency in Marib go to a personal account.
The first chance for success for the government is to supply all of the state’s funds to the central bank, then disbursed according to an agreed budget.
One of the success factors is the handing over of security in the liberated provinces to the security elites from the people of the province itself, and the withdrawal of brigades to the fronts, and this is the most important factor that will enhance stability, and no development or economic recovery can succeed without security stability, and if the government is able to monitor and prevent Turkish, Qatari and other interventions Interventions that finance chaos will succeed in resolving files, and for foreign relations to be based on the good treatment of any state and its seriousness in building stability according to clear frameworks and on the size of the contribution to building the country's stability and development away from financing suspicious organizations and associations.
Majed Al-Daari, Journalist:
The chances of its success as a quota government are very few, in my opinion, due to the lack of harmony and the impossibility of any national rapprochement between its various members due to the variation in the objectives of each party and their regional and party tendencies.
Therefore, the chances of its success are few and depends on the financial and political support of the coalition and the international community, and the extent of its members' ability to sense the importance of the sensitive national phase that the country is witnessing today, and it calls for the solidarity and cooperation of all to save it from the most dangerous stage and face the worst disaster of the collapse of the local currency exchange against the rest of other currencies.
It can be said that the most prominent threat to the government is the specter of the accelerating collapse of currency exchange, and the absence of any banking solutions or treatments or governmental capabilities of the Yemeni state in its current state.
In addition to reactivating the country’s resources, collecting the national income for the state’s oil and gas resources, disbursing employees ’salaries, providing basic services to the people, completing the process of normalizing the security situation in the liberated areas, repositioning, security arrangements for the Riyadh agreement, and everyone’s ability to unite to lead the battle to liberate the rest of Yemen from the grip of the Houthi militia.
