Khaled Al-Mishri and Muhammad Takala – who are competing for the position of President of the Supreme Council of State – announced the Council members’ approval of the central agreement, which includes the appointment of Naji Issa as governor of the Central Council and Marai al-Barasi as his deputy.
According to the two letters signed in the name of Al-Mishri and Takala, the number of Council members approving the central agreement exceeded 100 members, in a correspondence addressed to the Acting Charge d’Affairs of the UN Mission, Stephanie Khoury.
For his part, Muhammad Takala stressed the importance of the central agreement step in unifying economic institutions and enhancing stability, stressing the necessity of adhering to the provisions of the agreement, and completing the assignment of the bank’s board of directors, within the deadlines specified in the agreement.
Takala called for the necessity of opening oil facilities and keeping them away from political conflicts, given their crucial role in the national economy and securing the needs of citizens.
Representatives of the House of Representatives and the State (Hadi Al-Saghir and Abdel-Jalil Al-Shaoush) had previously signed an agreement to form a new board of directors for the Central Bank, during consultations sponsored by the United Nations mission in Libya, in the wake of the Central Bank crisis and the presidential appointment of a new board of directors for the bank.
According to the mechanism stipulated in the agreement, “Issa and Al-Barassi” will be appointed to the positions as stipulated in Article 15 of the political agreement, within a week from the date of signing the agreement, and a decision to this effect shall be issued by the House of Representatives.
The agreement also stipulated that the governor, within a maximum period of two weeks from the date of assuming his duties, would select the members of the Board of Directors in consultation with the legislative authority, provided that they were appointed in accordance with the legislation in force, while the membership of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance on the bank’s board of directors remained suspended.
