Mohamed Takala welcomed the UN mission’s announcement of its intention to hold a meeting that includes the parties concerned with the Central Bank.
He also welcomed, in a statement today, the Presidential Council’s invitation to the House of Representatives and the State Council to consult in order to form a board of directors and a governor for the Central Bank.
Takala pointed out that the deadlines set by the President of the Presidential Council for holding the elections are enforceable if the relevant legislation and procedures are completed.
The head of the Presidential Council, Mohamed Al-Menfi, called on the House of Representatives to return to the political agreement and choose a governor for the Central Bank in a public and transparent legal session in consultation with the State Council.
Al-Manfi confirmed in a statement that the recent decisions of the Presidential Council regarding the appointment of a new governor and board of directors for the Central Bank of Libya are effective.
Al-Manfi added that the unilateral decisions of some parties, their intransigence, their refusal to compromise, and their imposing an unjust tax on the people caused great popular resentment.
Al-Manfi said that he understands the UN mission’s concern over the ambiguity of the description of our decisions and the overlapping of competencies, stressing that the Presidential Council as a whole achieved the decision of the parliament to choose a governor who enjoys integrity and competence.
Al-Manfi also called for preserving the reputation of institutions from allegations of storming and seizure, describing what happened as a legal process by a ministerial committee under the supervision of the Minister of Interior, according to him.
Al-Manfi added that the priority now is to maintain the independence of the Central Bank, reduce inflation and provide liquidity, saying that the era of one individual controlling the financial institution and the moodiness it led to is over, according to his expression.
Al-Manfi explained that the decision to form a board of directors for the Central Bank came as a result of the concerned institutions relinquishing their responsibilities in implementation of the legislation related to governance and transparency.
Al-Manfi said that he is betting on the national responsibility of the leadership of the military institution to prevent the adventures of closing the remaining Libyan oil, half of which was closed weeks ago, according to him.
Al-Manfi explained that the Presidential Council was able to take necessary security and economic measures that preserved the stability of the capital from an imminent armed conflict, pointing to the Council’s commitment to holding fair elections to enable the Libyan people to determine their fate and renew the legitimacy of their institutions within a maximum period of February 17, 2025.
Al-Manfi pointed out that national responsibility requires everyone to resolve differences, no matter how serious, internally through unconditional dialogue based on sovereignty and rejection of external dictates, according to his description.
