The Libyan outgoing Prime Minister, Abdel Hamid Dbeibeh, said the appointment of the new board of directors for the National Oil Corporation (NOC) came in agreement with several political parties, denying that any deal was made to change the former board headed by Mustafa Sanalla.
Dbeibeh stressed that the talk about the deal was pure slander by parties that want to spoil political and social life.
Dbeibeh, who attended NOC’s new board of directors meeting in Tripoli today, added that the appointment of Mustafa Sanalla to head NOC was not legal, referring to appointing him by the Undersecretary of the Oil Ministry of the former “National Salvation government” in 2014.
The outgoing Prime Minister called on anyone who has any complaint about changing NOC board of directors to resort to the judiciary, stressing that there is no foreign interference in this issue, pointing out that the only agenda for changing the board was to open the oil fields and improve the lives of Libyans.
