The Houthi militias has started imposing new royalties on meat and poultry slaughterhouses in the capital Sana'a under the name of health control allowances.
Owners of meat and hens slaughterhouses in the capital Sana'a said to NewsYemen that the Houthi militias' supervisors in the Health Bureau in the Capital Sana'a and the health offices at the level of the district officially notified them to pay daily fees under the name of health control.
According to slaughterhouse owners, the amount of royalties varies according to the size of the slaughterhouse and the quantity of daily sales. The average of the slaughterhouse of meat and hens per day will amount to one thousand per a day, i.e. equivalent of thirty thousand riyals per month. This will increase if the slaughterhouses are large to about one hundred thousand per a month.
This is not the first time that the Houthi militias have imposed royalties on the owners of meat and hen slaughterhouses in the capital, where they have been already imposed to pay fees at the entrances to the capital Sana'a, which led them to carry a protest.
The slaughterhouses' owners confirmed that they are studying a new strike to protest against the new royalties imposed by the militias in particular, and that they pay their legal taxes on a regular basis.
