Yahya Harisi has been keen to own “Okaz” for about 45 years, and has become associated with a close relationship with its writers, whom he reads to and knows them well, and Harisi refuses to get rid of the paper copies of the newspaper, which filled his house.
Harisi said, "Despite the entry of social media into reporting news, I only trust Okaz, and I will not give it up, regardless of the temptations."
