		<description>It is not so much about failure of investment projects, but about the system that grants free land. This has caused massive abuse, the main culprits are those with connections to government who have benefited from free land. They do not have the required experience to develop their land, as their spheres are not development. They obtain the land through their connections. 

Some more experienced, show greed and cunningness and will build a rudimentary concrete frame to a structure. But this ploy is merely to show that they have &quot;built&quot; something on the land. They will usually leave it in this unfinished state for 10 years or more with no intention to develop the land. It is abuse of the system in hope of later selling the land, in the form of an &quot;investment project&quot; for sale.

The president must work to reprive the whole system because it has made a laughing stock of Yemen investment. He must also hold to account all those with contacts in government, even family members, and members of the investment authority itself. It is a mafiosa that has benefited most.</description>
