Saleh reiterated “the illegitimacy of what the Presidential Council has taken regarding the Central Bank,” adding that “it goes beyond its jurisdiction and violates the constitutional declaration and the political agreement, and is a usurpation of power and an encroachment on the powers of the elected legislative authority that represents the will of the Libyans.”
