On Tuesday, the Head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, threatened to monitor the performance of the local authority in Taiz Governorate (southeastern Yemen) and gave them 6 months to rectify their performance.
This came during a speech he delivered while meeting with the leadership of the local authority, political and civil components, as well as women and youth in Taiz Governorate on Tuesday at Taiz University.
Al-Alimi affirmed that “the Presidential Leadership Council and the government will monitor the performance of the local authority, including at the directorate level, over the next six months and report what is necessary to correct performance and enhance the presence of state institutions.”
He pointed out his “instructions to evacuate civil institutions from armed manifestations, including the technical institute and Al-Saqr Club, and to study the possibility of renting citizens’ houses in contact areas, to ensure their safety and the full protection of their private property.”
He also referred to his instructions to “prepare technical studies to rely on renewable energy, especially in the health and agricultural sectors, benefiting from the experience supported by the United Arab Emirates.”
Al-Alimi had laid the foundation stone on Tuesday for a number of projects, most notably the faculties of medicine, nursing, and pharmacy, the cancer center, and a 30-megawatt city power plant, in addition to the strategic Al-Turbah-Lahj road, the teaching hospital, and a prospective faculty of dentistry.”
Al-Alimi pointed out his instructions to “prepare technical studies to rely on renewable energy, especially in the health and agricultural sectors, benefiting from the experience supported by our brothers in the United Arab Emirates.”
The president encouraged universities to shift towards technical and qualitative specializations, including artificial intelligence and information and communication systems.
Al-Alimi, accompanied by members of the Presidential Council Abdullah Al-Alimi and Othman Mujali, as well as government officials and military commanders from the Coalition forces supporting legitimacy, had arrived in Taiz.
This visit marks the first by a Yemeni president to the city in more than 15 years, and it has been met with a large popular and official reception in the city of Al-Torbah (west of Taiz), where the local authorities and residents of Taiz expressed their broad welcome for this visit.
