‎The Chairman of the Administrative Control Authority, Abdullah Gaderbu, issued two decisions to stop all appointment and contracting procedures to fill positions in public agencies, and to stop issuing decisions for study scholarships inside and outside the country.

‎Gaderbu explained that the decision of halting contracts came as a result of the increase in the number of public sector employees to more than two million, and the increase in expenditures on salaries to more than 372 billion Libyan dinars. He indicated that this increase in employment is due to the issuance of decisions to fill public positions randomly and without adhering to the provisions of the Labor Law, which imposed financial obligations on the public treasury that the state was unable to fulfill, and led to disputes and judicial rulings.

He also pointed out that many public agencies exempt their employees from proving attendance and departure under the pretext of not paying salaries, which disrupted the workflow of the state's administrative apparatus and burdened it with huge financial obligations.

Regarding the suspension of granting study scholarships, the Administrative Control Authority's decision explained that it came as a result of noting the expansion of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in issuing these decisions, which resulted in large financial obligations on the state and its entry into disputes and judicial rulings that the public treasury was unable to cover.

He instructed the Prime Minister and the Minister of Higher Education to suspend the issuance of study scholarships until all existing financial obligations are settled. He has stressed that these decisions come within the framework of a national and reform initiative led by the Administrative Control Authority to preserve the entity of the state and public money, stressing the need for public entities to adhere to them.
