The Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, issued a decision to suspend the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Brega Oil Marketing Company, Fouad Belrahim, from work and referred him to an administrative investigation.
Dbeibah's decision stipulated the formation of an investigation committee headed by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance. The formed committee will investigate the suspended Chairman of the company regarding the causes of the congestion at fuel stations, and identify those responsible for it, proposing urgent solutions to end it.
The decision requested the committee to submit a report on the results of its work, accompanied by the investigation records, within a maximum period of one week from the date of the decision to the Prime Minister.
According to the decision, the Board of Directors of the National Oil Corporation will assign one of the members of the company's Board of Directors to assume the duties of the Chairman during the suspension period.
Earlier on Wednesday, Dbeibah called for the opening of closed fuel stations in the capital, Tripoli, and to operate them around the clock. This came in two letters to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Brega Oil Marketing Company and the Minister of Interior.
A meeting was held on Wednesday at the Cabinet Office in Tripoli to follow up on the mechanism of distributing fuel to the stations, after severe congestion was observed in front of the fuel stations and the closure of some stations and their failure to receive the fuel quantities allocated to them.
