Sanctuary Scrapped due to Corruption Claims
Now its a little clearer how the LNG project would up inside a marine reserve and on the coastline of one of the world’s greatest coral reefs:
SANA’A – A project of the first animal sanctuary in the Arab peninsula set to be built in Hadhramout governorate has been scrapped by the Environment Authority of the United Arab Emirates. According to the Yemeni Green peace society, the UAE Environment Authority in cancelled the project after claims that the General Environment Authority in Yemen was corrupt.
The Green peace society said that the Yemeni Environment Authority had presented demands, including that money be paid for what it called “dignitaries and influential characters”, under the pretence of getting the support of them to ensure the success of the project. However, this made those involved doubt the credibility of the Environment Authority.
