The editor-in-chief of Al-Jaish newspaper, "Ali Muqrat", said that interim President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi met with the Central Bank's administration and renewed confidence in it after circulating news of changes that would affect the bank's management following the great failure to maintain the stability of the currency and the payment of people's salaries.
In his Facebook post, Muqrat expressed his astonishment at Hadi’s meeting with the governor and deputy of the Central Bank, on Monday, in Riyadh, describing the meeting as shocking, noting that it was a renewal of confidence in the bank’s management, which he described as unjust and failed.
Muqrat advised those around Hadi to inform him that the citizens, led by members of the army and security forces, complained and were indignant at him, stressing that his meeting with the leadership of the bank appeared to be like a man who lives in a forest and is isolated from his people.
The journalist Muqrat reported that he visited the Central Bank of Crater city in the capital, Aden, on Tuesday, and met with some of the bank’s specialists to inquire about the fate of the salaries of the army and security personnel, noting that they confirmed that they did not have any directives to spend so far.
The editor-in-chief of Al-Jaish newspaper indicated that he went to the office of the bank’s agent, “Al-Dahmashi”, but he was not present, explaining that he obtained information from the Central Bank’s employees that there is cash available in hundreds of billions inside the bank and at the exchange companies, and it is possible to pay the salaries of an entire year in one go. If the bank wants, and the issue of the currency collapse will remain the same as the salaries of the army and security will continue to be paid, or they will continue to be suspended because the matter is related to foreign currency reserves, halting exports and weak revenues, according to the publication of the journalist "Ali Muqrat".
