A high-ranking official in the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, claims that the nuclear deal between the government and the US-based Powered Corporation has been misrepresented by the Yemeni press.
“What has been said in the press about the deal between the Ministry of Electricity and Energy and the Powered Corporation is not true and is full of misleading information,” said a high-ranking source in the Ministry Electricity and Energy. “There are people in the government who do not want to see nuclear power working in Yemen because it will make corruption more difficult to get away with.”
