Khalifa Al-Daghari, a member of the House of Representatives’ Finance Committee, confirmed that the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya, Naji Issa, will be summoned to the next session. In exclusive statements to the “Fawasel” platform, he explained that the agenda also includes amending Regulation No. 134 concerning the election cycle of the House’s presidency to make it rotational, in addition to the issue of sovereign positions.
Agenda for the Upcoming Session
Al-Daghari noted that the session will discuss amending the mechanism for rotating the House’s presidency periodically, opening the file on sovereign positions, and hearing a briefing from the Central Bank Governor on the financial situation.
Criticism of the Internal Communication Mechanism
He stated that the communication between the House’s committees and state bodies is currently conducted solely through the Presidency and the Speaker. This, he said, has caused delays in daily work and created confusion in the functioning of the committees. He pointed out that the Presidency makes decisions unilaterally and that there is a clear flaw in the Presidency’s management due to its daily absence and poor effective communication with the committees.
Exchange Rate Fee and its Extension
Al-Daghari explained that the extension of the fee imposed on the exchange rate was a decision made by the Speaker of the House, Aguila Saleh. He added, “Although the extension was for a specific period that has ended, and the Central Bank was supposed to stop imposing the fee upon its expiration, it has continued to do so.”
Governor’s Attendance and Financial Briefing
He confirmed that the Governor’s attendance at the next session is “certain” after an official invitation was extended by the House’s Presidency, noting that the Governor has expressed his readiness to provide a briefing on the financial situation, according to his recent statements.
