Today, Member of the Presidential Leadership Council and Governor of Hadhramaut, Salem Ahmed Al-Khanbashi, met in Mukalla with the Chief Judge of the Juvenile Court, Judge Faiza Bahamdin. They discussed a public awareness campaign focused on juveniles and proposed the establishment of a specialized juvenile police force in Hadhramaut. This initiative aims to enhance the protection system for juveniles and ensure their treatment aligns with legal and humanitarian frameworks.

Al-Khanbashi reviewed the efforts of the coordinating committee for juvenile justice in Hadhramaut. He emphasized the importance of collaboration among judicial, security, social entities, and civil society organizations in juvenile matters. Such cooperation will ensure the application of relevant laws and strengthen preventive and rehabilitative measures.

He directed the relevant authorities in the province to study the proposed initiatives and complete the necessary procedures for implementing the awareness campaign. Additionally, he urged them to follow up on the proposal to create a specialized juvenile police force, ensuring compliance with legal frameworks and available resources. This coordination is vital for the success of the juvenile justice project in Hadhramaut.

Agreement for Water Desalination Plant

In another development, Al-Khanbashi sponsored the signing of a cooperation agreement to provide a water desalination plant for the dialysis center in Mukalla. This project receives funding from the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development and will be implemented by the Nahd Development Foundation.

Al-Khanbashi praised the project, highlighting its significance in improving the quality of dialysis services. The initiative will provide a sustainable and safe source of purified and treated water, alleviating the suffering of kidney failure patients. The modern desalination plant will meet international standards, ensuring high-quality treated water suitable for dialysis procedures.
