The meeting of the National Reconciliation Government was crippled for the fourth time because of the absence of the Prime Minister, Mohammed Salem Basendwah, who navigates between Jordan and Egypt on non-official visits.
A source in the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers said that it was scheduled for the government to hold the meeting this week but it faltered because of the absence of  Basendwah who is still visiting in the Egyptian capital, Cairo on a non- official visit and also without the existence of a deputy to the Prime Minister.
 The source noted that the faltering of the periodic meeting of the government caused disruption of many interests of citizens and government ministries and institutions whose reports are discussed at these meetings, noting security chaos and the deterioration of public life which models many areas of the provinces of the Republic.
The regular meeting takes place for the Yemeni government on Tuesday of each week, but it did not take place for nearly a month due to the traveling of  the Prime Minister to Jordan on a medical visit and then his trip to Egypt. He  has met with his Egyptian counterpart twice without any formal invitation.
