almotamar.net - Undersecretary of Social Affairs ands Labour of Yemen admitted Wednesday that the ministry is suffering many shortcomings and failures and non-development of performance.

Undersecretary Ali Saleh Abdullah revealed about the government tendencies for conducting amendments on laws of civil society organisations to keep pace with the developments the Yemeni arena is witnessing.

In a ceremony of opening a workshop on applications of the law of private societies and establishments organized by the Made Foundation on 27-28 of this month he said the existing problem between the government and organisations is due to the organisations’ foreign funding and their not informing the about their financing sources.

He also said the Yemeni legislator managed to summarize this problematic through finding a balanced formula of texts, adding that those texts were still in need of amendments in order to curb restraints presented to private societies and establishments.

Mr. Abdullah described partisan work as corrupting the good intentions and that when partisan work enters into organisations and societies it will deprive them of the serious works and communicates to them partisan ills. He confirmed the importance of the existence of private action void of diseases in order to establish effective and active civil action.

On the other hand MP Nail Bash said the constitutional amendments are not owned by the ruling party but come within national dialogue among all political forces. He added it was time to reconsider laws of societies under the increasing role of those organisations as they are considered major partner with the rest of the state establishments. MP Basha expressed resentment upon formation of the higher committee on fighting corruption and said we have been disappointed at the parliament with some of the candidates for the committee but he said nomination of personalities from the civil society as better than the personalities that have been nominated.
