Almotamar.net - President Ali Abdullah Saleh, commander in chief of the armed forces gave his directives on Tuesday to the committee entrusted with studying conditions of the retired to speed up tackling any failure concerning dues and to discuss all the cases.

A source at the ministry of defence said in a statement, a copy of it received by almotamar.net that the committee the president ordered to be set up is chaired by the chief of general staff and membership of directors of pension and social security department, officers affairs department, personnel affairs department, the finance department and staff commodore Ali Qassem Talib in charge of human power at the office of the commander in chief of the armed forces.

The source indicated that the committee began for some time carrying out the president's directives and summoned delegates for the pensioners from all governorates, confirming that all that is related to the retired dues will be settled in the following days.

While indicating keenness of the political leadership, represented by the president, on the care for all members of the armed forces including the retired, the source warned against attempts of some political forces to use this case in a bad way. He asked not to include the military pensioners in issues aimed at political gains and change their issues in a way serving interest of some forces without any sense of responsibility towards the retired.
