Sana'a - Saba:
A meeting held in Sana'a province on Tuesday focused on establishing mechanisms to enhance the role of district local councils in preserving endowment lands and properties within the governorate's various districts.
The meeting, which brought together officials from the Endowments Committee and directors of endowments across several districts including New Sana'a, Sanhan, Bani Bahloul, and Bilad al-Rus, addressed challenges hindering endowment work. Key obstacles identified included an incomplete inventory of endowment lands and a lack of cooperation from some influential employees with district endowment officials.
Participants emphasized the shared responsibility of local council leaders and relevant authorities in safeguarding endowment lands and properties. They stressed the importance of coordination between district directors, security, and judicial authorities at the district level to protect these assets, contribute to inventorying endowment funds, and monitor their financial dues.
Attendees underscored the necessity of referring those encroaching on endowment properties to judicial authorities in accordance with Sharia Endowment Law. They also highlighted the need to identify and document all endowment lands at the district level, including those that have been disposed of, to facilitate tenant tracking and the timely collection of endowment dues, particularly during harvest seasons.
The meeting concluded with praise for the efforts of the local authority leadership, the Endowment Authority, and relevant bodies in the governorate for their work in overcoming challenges and enabling the endowment office to effectively carry out its duties.
