The House of Representatives, which is under the control of the Houthis in Sanaa, voted on a draft law aimed at disbursing the salaries of state employees in areas controlled by the group, on a regular basis, amid the deteriorating living and economic conditions in the country.

The Houthi Saba Agency reported that the House of Representatives voted on the law on the temporary exceptional mechanism for disbursing salaries and resolving the problem of depositors and government and commercial banks unanimously.

She added that after discussing the law in the Council, and absorbing the observations made by Council members during the discussion, the draft law was approved in its final form after the commitment of the government side - affiliated with the Houthis and who are not internationally recognized - represented by the Minister of Finance, Abdul-Jabbar Ahmed, to implement it in accordance with what it included and what it contained. It was included in the Council's recommendations.

The Council had referred the draft law to the Committee to review its provisions and discuss them before ratifying it. It is a draft that the Council described as aiming to address the problem of interruption of salaries, achieving justice in the distribution of monthly income among all employees, and mobilizing the possible financial resources necessary to provide the necessary and continuous portion of salaries. .

The Council previously indicated that the law will contribute to stabilizing the economy by creating a stable work environment, solving the problem of small depositors and government and commercial banks, creating purchasing power and moving the wheel of the economy in a way that will reflect positively on the structure of public and private spending.

The law included articles that were approved, most notably the disbursement of half a salary (50%) per month as a minimum to public service units that do not have sufficient personal resources to cover their salary bill.

The law also includes disbursing half a quarterly salary (50%) every three months as a minimum to public service units that receive their salaries from the general government account and have sufficient personal resources to cover their salary bill or have large operational expenses paid from the general government account.

The law stipulates the issuance of a decision specifying the public service units included in each of the stipulated lists, and the terms, standards and controls of disbursement, in coordination between the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Service.

On the other hand, a specific monthly amount is allocated from the Temporary Extraordinary Mechanism account to contribute to repaying government debts to small depositors in government and private banks.

According to the law, anyone who receives a salary from the exceptional mechanism account is exempt from salary tax if the total amount of his full salary is equal to or less than 25 thousand riyals.

The salaries are disbursed from the account of the exceptional mechanism that was approved, according to the statements of the last salary disbursed from the general government account before the issuance of this law, and according to the assessment of the achievement and discipline of the month preceding the disbursement, and the government is absolved of its responsibility after disbursement, and the disbursement of the salary is completed or its complementary half.
