Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, said that what the Presidential Council decided regarding changing the governor of the Central Bank of Libya is unacceptable.
Aqila added during the House of Representatives session that the Presidential Council’s term has expired, and the great friend is the governor of the Central Bank based on the recent decision of the House of Representatives, according to him.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives added that the presidential powers are exclusively defined, and the formation of sovereign positions is by agreement between the House of Representatives and the State Council.
Aqila explained that the presidential step regarding changing Al-Kabeer may be a reason for freezing Libyan assets and the collapse of the local currency, according to him.
Aqila stated that the House of Representatives decided in the previous session to end the executive authority, adding that they consider it a failure and that it can be replaced, according to him.
Aguila also pointed to the need for an executive authority to unify the country and hold elections, expressing the council’s readiness to dialogue with all parties.
For his part, the Central Bank announced that Al-Siddiq Al-Kabeer held an extensive meeting with a number of the bank’s department managers at its headquarters in Tripoli, hours after the Presidential Council announced his change.
The Central Bank said that Al-Kabeer followed up on the return of the systems and the progress of work with the directors of the Central Bank’s departments after the release of the Director of the Information Technology Department, “Mosaab Amslam,” yesterday.
Yesterday, the Presidential Council unanimously announced its decision to change the governor of the Central Bank of Libya and form a new board of directors.
The council said in its statement issued on Sunday that the decision came within the framework of assuming national responsibility to preserve the country’s resources and prevent them from being exposed to any harm.
The Presidential Council reassured that this step aims to ensure the stability of the financial and economic situation in the country and within the framework of enhancing governance and institutional stability in Libya, stressing its commitment to cooperation with all international partners.
The Presidency also stressed that these changes aim to enhance the Central Bank’s ability to carry out its duties efficiently and effectively, ensuring the continuity of providing financial services and achieving economic stability.
