SEPT. 2006─ Mr. Khaled
Mahfouth Behah, oil minister, and Ome r Al-Arhabi,
oil company GM, and Dr. Najeeb Al-Awaj, vice-GM of
the gas company, paid an inspection visit to the
branch office of the MOM and gas refilling plants
and oil derivatives. The purpose was to ensure that
oil derivatives meet the needs of the local markets
and ensure that no shortage or confusion takes place
during the Blessed Holy Month, Ramadan.
Then, in the meeting
with the staff, the minister emphasized that all
MOM’s staff and its affiliates are ready to
encounter any emergency and to stop any manipulation
and/or monopolization of such products. This is
because some greedy people try to exploit Ramadan by
carrying such misdeeds. He further stressed on
preventing the smuggling of gas because of which the
$ 300 thousand refilling gas plant, at al-Jandiyah
district, was founded with the aim of meeting the
needs of gas consumption in Taiz and Ibb
governorates.
