The North Benghazi Court of First Instance on Tuesday issued an order to halt the implementation of Resolution No. (745) for the year 2025, issued by the expired-mandate government, concerning the opening of an additional appropriation for the 2025 budget in the amount of seventeen billion and five hundred million Libyan dinars.
Appeal filed by Hammad’s government
According to a statement from the media office of Osama Hammad’s government, this judicial decision came in response to an urgent injunction request filed by the Prime Minister, based on justifications related to safeguarding public funds and protecting them from any tampering or waste.
Protecting public funds and preventing financial violations
The statement clarified that the expired-mandate government has persistently engaged in illegal financial practices that affect state funds and violate existing legislation, necessitating urgent judicial intervention to stop any measures that could harm the public interest or compromise the state’s general budget.
Decision subject to expedited enforcement
The media office stated that the court issued the order with immediate effect and made it enforceable, obliging all sovereign entities, foremost among them the Central Bank of Libya, to disregard the expired-mandate government’s decision and not to execute any financial procedure resulting from it.
