Self-proclaimed executors impose fees on poor [Archives:2003/695/Local News]

The government has adopted policies to alleviate poverty from the needy by allocating large sums of money through the Social Security System which is distributed on a regular basis.
However, a group of self-proclaimed executors handling the distribution of these funds impose fees on the poor, especially in rural areas, under false justifications, and threaten to scratch the names of those who refuse to pay such fees.
One of these incidents took place in the village of Al-Mafgar Aqibah Sufla, Directorate of Al-Udain in the Governorate of Ibb where one of those self-proclaimed executors, Mohammad Abdu Saeed, imposed a fee of YR 1,000 on every beneficiary. It is hoped that the appropriate authorities of Ibb would interfere and put a stop to such behaviors.
