Prime Minister Ahmad Obeid bin-Daghr issued directives to finance ministry on Sunday for quickly paying salaries of government employees displaced from Houthi-held areas to liberated provinces.

The government, in implementation to directives of President Hadi, will continue paying salaries of the state's employees, who took shelter in liberated provinces, said bin-Daghr.

He noted that he directed the ministry of finance to pay salaries on the basis of the state's budget for 2014.

The government pays salaries of the state's employees and pensioners regularly every month despite scarcity of resources and limited capabilities suffered by the government under these difficult conditions the country is going through, he said.

Bin-Daghr called upon the international community to put pressures on the rebel militias to handover revenues to the Central Bank of Yemen in the transitional capital of Aden so that the government will fulfill its duties and responsibilities to its people.

"The rebel militias are hindering government's efforts aiming at paying salaries of the state's employees at their held-provinces by their continuous rejection of handing over the state's revenues to the Central Bank in Aden," bin-Daghr added.
