In a precedent that only occurs in the Houthi state and the like, a prominent leader in the Houthi coup militia appeared, giving orders and directions to the Speaker of Parliament in Sana'a, Yahya al-Ra'i, and a number of the heads of the Parliament's committees, all of which aim to justify their corruption and their continuous plunder of public money.
On Monday, the Houthi website, SabaNet, reported that a member of the so-called Supreme Political Council of the militias, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, had gathered with the Speaker of Parliament, Yahya al-Rai and the heads of a number of Parliament committees.
The meeting discussed, according to the site, the paper presented by the Houthi leader about his vision on the hoped-for role of the House of Representatives in confronting the alleged "aggression and siege".
During the meeting, Al-Houthi directed both the speaker of parliament and the heads of the committees to summon the ministers of the unrecognized Bin Habtoor government, to clarify the effects of the alleged "aggression and siege" on the work in their ministries, and to draw comparisons between what was the situation before the "aggression".
Al-Houthi said that the aim of this work is to inform the residents of the areas under his control, through his representatives, on the reality of the situation in the country and how state institutions are managed despite the limited capabilities due to the legitimate control of revenues and revenues from the sale of oil, and the transfer of central bank jobs, as he claimed.
In addition to the Houthi’s bypassing the constitution in issuing directives to the people's representatives, this directive is an indirect admission by al-Houthi of his attempt to use the people's representatives, most of whom are under house arrest in Sana'a, to justify the systematic plunder of state revenues, the latest of which was revealed by the UN envoy Martin. Griffiths on the Houthis' seizure of Hodeidah port revenues from fuel sales, which the government estimated at 35 billion riyals ($ 58 million), which were allocated to pay the salaries of state employees in the governorate and the rest of the Houthi occupied areas.
In general, what Griffiths revealed, was nothing but an aspect of the Houthi plunder of state resources, which include revenues from communications, insurance, oil and gas, in addition to the illegal levies imposed under various names, at a time when the government employee in their areas of control is still waiting for his suspended monthly salary for years.
