Sana’a, Sept. 14 (YT)-Chairman of the Political Office of the People’s General Conference, (PGC), Dr. Mohammed Abdulmajeed Al-Qubati has strongly denied the news circulated by some newspapers claiming PGC has unseated 3 parliament members from the PGC membership. ”What has been rumored is considered as groundless and unjustifiable. The disciplinary body, which has been recently formed, has decided only to unseat Mr. Sakhr al-Wajeeh from the membership of the Permanent Committee and has then become just member of the PGC.”
Yemen Times interviewed on telephone Mr. Sakhr asking him about the decision and he said that he didn’t receive an official notification of being unseated from membership of the Permanent Committee. He refused to give reasons behind unseating him and he also added that he was not officially informed.
Some local newspapers have recently mentioned that Secretary General of the PGC. Dr. Abdulkareem al-Iriani has issued a decision unseating three members of parliament from the membership of the Permanent Committee, namely,
-Mr. Mohammed Ali
Ashedadi
-Mr. Sa’ad Addeen Taleb
-Mr. Sakhr al-Wajeeh
According to these newspapers, they have breached the party’s rules of procedure and program and adopting stands against the government’s policy and voting outside directives of the PGC”s parliamentary bloc.
On his part, Dr. Sa’ad Addeen Taleb said he did not know about what had been published by press nor that had received any notice about it.
The 6th Conference of the PGC has formed a disciplinary body presided by Dr. Jafar bin Saleh and the membership of Ali Abu Hulaika and Ahmed al-Abyadh, a lawer.
They are entrusted with studying violations made by the PGC members. It is worthwhile mentioning that more than 2000 PGC members have been dismissed from the PGC membership due to their double partisan affiliation.
