Sana'a – Saba:
The Supreme National Authority for Combating Corruption (SNACC), in collaboration with the Summer Courses Sub-Committee in the Capital Secretariat and Al-Wahda district, launched on Sunday an awareness program aimed at instilling and promoting integrity values to prevent corruption under the slogan "Knowledge and Jihad."
During the inauguration, Ridwan Al-Mutawakel, Deputy Head of the Anti-Corruption Authority, explained that the program aligns with Quranic teachings and moral responsibility, as well as the directives of the Revolution Leader, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badruddin Al-Houthi, to prioritize summer courses. It also implements the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Law, its executive regulations, and the objectives of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (2022–2026), within the framework of partnership and coordination between SNACC and the Capital Secretariat.
Al-Mutawakel emphasized the Authority’s commitment to implementing this awareness program, which targets summer course participants, to cultivate and reinforce awareness among youth about the dangers and consequences of corruption on individuals and society.
He highlighted the importance of participants understanding corruption’s risks to the nation, future generations, Yemeni society, and state institutions, as well as its negative impacts across cultural, educational, social, health, economic, and political spheres. He noted how corruption weakens and degrades the services provided by the state to citizens.
Al-Mutawakel also stressed the need to immunize youth against corruption through Quranic-based ethical education, rooted in the concept of religious, legal, national, and societal responsibility. This responsibility reflects in the behavior of righteous believers who reject corruption and show no tolerance toward corrupt individuals.
The inauguration was attended by Mu'tasim Abad, Head of the Executive Office in the Capital Secretariat. Abdullah Obaid, Director of the Youth and Sports Office, and Jamil Al-Khalid, Director of the Education Sector in the Directorate of Education, praised SNACC’s role in promoting integrity, transparency, and noble human values among youth through summer courses and other initiatives.
They emphasized the importance of collective efforts by institutions and various groups to foster a society where integrity is upheld and any tolerance toward corruption and corrupt individuals is rejected.
On the first day of the program, Dr. Yahya Al-Marwani, Head of the Executive Unit at SNACC, and Muhammad Al-Qans, Head of the Financial Disclosure Department, delivered two awareness lectures. Educational presentations were also shown, covering concepts of integrity, responsibility, honesty, forms of corruption, its dangers, prevention methods, an introduction to SNACC’s roles and tasks in safeguarding youth against corruption.
