Sanaa, Newsyemen, Exclusive:
Security sources in Sana'a revealed to (Newsyemen) that the so-called Preventive Security Agency of the Houthi militia kidnapped five employees of the Central Organization for Control and Accountability after malicious charges were fabricated against them by the Houthi leadership.
Those sources reported that Houthi gunmen rushed to the apparatus building, last Saturday, and kidnapped five employees: Ibrahim Muhammad Bashir, Muqbel Muhammad, Hussein Muqbel, Fuad Mabkhout Al-Jaradi, Qais Al-Qaisi and Hani Mujam.
Sources explained that the kidnapping of the employees came after the Houthi leader, Ali Al-Emad, whom the militia appointed as the head of the agency, fabricated malicious accusations for them alleging the leakage of documents about the horrific corruption carried out by the Houthi leaders in several ministries and revenue entities that they control in the capital, Sanaa, and the rest of the governorates under their control.
Whereas sources in the Audit and Accountability Authority reported to (Newsyemen) that the employees who were kidnapped had previously criticized the rampant corruption in the corridors of the monitoring body and the role played by the head of the agency Ali Al-Emad to protect the corrupt and share their corruption by obliging them to supply money for his personal account, pointing out that the general has become an agent for the corrupt, whose mission is to cover up their corruption, destroy any documents incriminating them, and obstruct the referral of any of them to the judiciary.
It was mentioned that the corrupt people who do not respond by paying sums of money to the general blackmail them until they acquiesce and pay what he asks for, indicating that the general had recently filed corruption files for 74 of the leaders appointed by the Houthis in several government agencies and presented those files to the director of the presidential office, Ahmed Hamed, to hand them over to the president, the so-called Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, then returned to withdraw those files, and it was just pressure, nothing more, to give in and pay what he asked from them.
To that, a member of Parliament, Ahmed Saif Hashid, regretted that employees were arrested for criticizing corruption.
In the posts on his Facebook account, "Our comrade Qais Al-Qaisi and a number of the Central Organization for Control and Accountability cadres are hosted by the Sanaa intelligence services, against the background of submitting a report of violations and abuses of the Central Organization for Control and Accountability and their criticism of corruption in the apparatus on the general also became a red line."
The parliamentarian Hashid was surprised that the (Houthi) intelligence in Sana'a summoned and interrogated those who criticized corruption, while the corrupt were fortified and surrounded by the authority and its intelligence services, indicating that the coup militia and its security agencies protect and care for the corrupt.
He added, "People die of starvation, and war incinerators devour our sons greedily. Corrupt practices their corruption comfortably, and intelligence protects them ... and arrests those who criticize or intimidate corruption."
While the chartered accountant, Abdulwahab Al-Sharafi, commented on the arrest of employees, he said, "The administration is with thuggery.
This is the title of the stage in the Central Organization for Control and Accounting."
Al-Sharafi revealed in a post on his Facebook page that the head of the agency (appointed by the Houthis) began targeting this group some time ago, as he had previously removed them from their jobs by Resolution No. 14 of 2020.
He added, "That is, the matter is not a leak. Rather, its background is related to mismanagement."
Al-Sharafi added, "I am not surprised by the behavior of Al-Emad, as much as he was surprised by the intelligence behavior.
It is unreasonable for everyone who called you, you went to imprison his employees for him, you should not be used to settle accounts, this is your authority now if you do not respect its institutions and its organization, then who will, I said it is a civil monitoring body and not a nuclear reactor and there are administrative procedures that must be followed in every case.
He add, "This is how the intelligence should have responded to the general: If there was any violation of your administrative measures, it is not our task to arrest the employees, there are legal affairs and there is an investigation and it may be proven and may not.
If it is proven there are administrative penalties and if necessary, there are prosecution offices and administrative courts and not arrests and intelligence. "
He addressed the Houthi intelligence service, saying, "Oh, intelligence, you are not working with Al-Emad, nor with anyone other than then him, to move by phone from any administrative official, release them, because their arrest is a defect in your right first."
The legal accountant Al-Sharafi concluded, "It is enough for gangs behavior.
Understand that you are an authority whose primary duty is to protect its apparatus and systems of operation.
Al-Emad is not above the authority, the system, or the law."
