The Cabinet Office of the Government of National Unity (GNU) has issued a letter to the Chairman of the General Electricity Company, Mohammed Al-Mashai, requesting a response to the observations and incidents attributed to him during his tenure and mentioned in the report of the UN Panel of Experts on Libya, which was submitted to the President of the UN Security Council.
The letter, dated February 5, said that these incidents constituted violations punishable by law under current legislation. It further emphasized the jurisdiction of regulatory and judicial bodies while requesting clear and detailed responses regarding the incidents mentioned in the report. Additionally, it called for a public clarification within three days.
The report indicated that Mohammed Al-Mashai was appointed Chairman of the General Electricity Company with the support of Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah. Meanwhile, former parallel government Prime Minister Fathi Bashagha said in a press interview that Al-Mashai’s appointment was “one of the conditions set by the Head of the Stability Support Apparatus, Abdulghani Al-Kikli, for supporting Dbeibah in his political strife with Bashagha for the Prime Minister's job.”
The GNU also sent a letter to the Chairman of the Libyan Investment Authority, requesting a response to the observations and incidents mentioned in the recent report of the Panel of Experts on Libya regarding the institution’s performance.
The letter said that the report included observations and incidents concerning the institution’s fulfillment of its duties, as well as the performance of the Libyan Foreign Investment Company and the Libya Africa Investment Portfolio, considering these as violations punishable by law.
The government sent a letter to the National Oil Corporation (NOC) requesting a response to the observations and incidents mentioned in the latest report of the Panel of Experts on Libya.
In the letter issued by Dbeibah’s Cabinet Office to the Chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), the government instructed the NOC to communicate with the companies mentioned in the report and provide clear and detailed responses regarding these incidents, along with a public clarification within three days from the date of the letter.
It is worth noting that the recent report of the Panel of Experts on Libya contained observations regarding the operations of state-owned companies and institutions. The report highlighted widespread corruption within these entities, involving their leaders in collaboration with armed groups in both eastern and western Libya.
