The Member of Parliament, Engineer Mohsen Ali Basurra addressed a letter to members of the parliament who support the legitimacy, calling them for the convening of the parliament to save the deterioration of the economy resulted of the deterioration of the national currency.

In two letters addressed to members of the parliament on August 31, and September 1, 2018, Basurra demanded the convening of the parliament because of the rapid decline of the Yemeni currency against other currencies, which affected the economic, social and living situation citizens suffering.

“As parliament members of the people who are loyal to legitimacy and as a majority of the parliament, I think we should call for the convening of the parliament in any liberated area and choose a new parliamentary presidency,” Basurra said.

“This procedure is a right guaranteed by the constitution,” he added.

Basurra called on the parliament members not to wait for the presidential invitation, which is delayed in order to do the parliament members their duty to correct the imbalances and the prevention of government corruption and save what can be saved.

The MP also called upon the parliament members to assume their responsibilities, saying: “The country is our country and no one can feel the suffering of our people only we, and at this sensitive stage we have to move away from the political quarrels and gains that the country and the people have suffered from.”

The MP Basurra expressed the hope that his call would be approved by the parliament members, and that the heads of blocs would meet with each other's as well as members who wish to do so in order to prepare for the matter, which is considered a national responsibility.

In his second letter to the parliament members, he published the legal document that states (under the Constitutional Article No. 74, the parliament has a right to hold two regular sessions in a year. The parliament may also convene extraordinary sessions. In case of necessity, extraordinary sessions can be called for by a decision of the President of the Republic, by a decision of The Presidency of the parliament upon its request or written request by one third of the members of the parliament).

In his letter, Basurra said, my respected colleagues — the parliament members:

As you have been authorized by the Constitution to call for the convening of the Council, and as long as there is no leadership of the presidency of the parliament that is loyal to the legitimacy, which can receive a written letter by a third of the parliament members only Mr. Muhammad Ali al-Shaddadi — may Allah preserve him — we think that Mr. Muhammad Ali al-Shaddadi Acting Chairman of the parliament can adopt (In cooperation with the heads of parliamentary blocs or their representatives) the formation of a committee to prepare for the convention of the parliament, and to invite the leaders of the Arab and the International Parliament for supporting and participating in the preparations and attendance of sessions.

Colleagues, members of the Parliament: The citizen looks to you as a hope -after Allah- to take action to alleviate his suffering, and you are qualified to perform this duty, and Allah conserve all of you.
