First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Fawzi Al-Nuwairi, issued a statement regarding external interference in financial arrangements.
The statement said: “The state’s general budget and its financial arrangements are a purely sovereign matter and within the scope reserved for its authority unless it is subject to external arrangements due to aid or bound by borrowing restrictions. Therefore, each state has the right to proceed and manage its resources in the way it sees that achieves its interests and in accordance with its laws.”
The statement added: “The intervention of the United States Embassy and its insistence on imposing financial arrangements on the Libyans is surprising and reprehensible, and is considered a violation of the laws as well as a violation of the principle of non-interference established in all international conventions, which is the basis of any country’s sovereignty.”
The statement continued: “The financial law is clear, manifested in the approval of a budget approved by the legislative authority, which is disbursed in a transparent and fair manner to all Libyans through one government. Therefore, creating any other paths is something that deepens and entrenches the division, which we rejected and warned against in all meetings.”
The statement added: “We are also surprised and deplore those who adopt and sponsor these suspicious meetings that are rejected by logic and reason, and before them the state’s financial law, and we warn against the actions of the institutions and personalities involved in this, such as the Central Bank, which is essentially a technical institution that manages monetary policy only in accordance with the state’s financial legislation, and is not a political institution.” .
The statement continued: “We address the sense of patriotism among our people in general and those who hold sovereign positions in particular, not to be drawn into this path, to engage in it, and to realize that the idea of financial arrangements and changing the exchange rate has risks that threaten the national economy and the value of the dinar against currencies and threaten the country’s economy, dragging it towards a fate.” Legalized division.”
The statement concluded by saying: “We call on the governor and his deputy to keep the Central Bank away from the influence of embassies and focus on performing their duties instead of holding meetings with ambassadors, and to adhere to the nature of their duties at the head of the Central Bank as it is a sovereign and not a political institution.”
