He revealed on Monday, that Sana’a has information confirming the process of smuggling gas to countries in Africa and for a long time, amid high levels of societal need for this vital product.

The Director of the Commercial Department of the Yemeni Gas Company, Mohammed Al-Obaidi, stated that raising the price of gas from the Safer Department, in addition to transportation wages, has exhausted citizens and besieged the benefit of the national wealth.

Al-Obaidi called to leave out Natural Gas from the entire conflict and spare citizens from the burdens of employing it as a pressure card, stressing that the people suffer due to war and siege imposed by the coalition, not paying state employees salaries, the fragility of the economic situation, the interruption of business in the private sector and their layoffs as well.

The spokesman for the Yemen Gas Company, Ali Maasar, explained that company’s work is limited to supervising the process of distributing Natural gas trailers and following up on the community’s supply.

Maasar pointed out that US-Saudi blockade imposed on Yemen has prevented the local market from being covered by imported Natural gas supplies, and the ships are still being held at sea.

“Detention of Natural gas imports entails high costs for gas supplies, which means that its access after that to society will not make any significant difference” he added
