The Libyan Parliament is set to convene for a plenary session in its Benghazi office on Monday, 7 November.
This was announced by House Speaker, Ageela Saleh in a letter to lawmakers, which was released on the Parliament’s website.
According to the letter, the session will be dedicated to discussing “a number of laws listed on the House’s agenda.”
It held a closed session on 19 October, to discuss the draft law on the Internal Security Agency (ISA).
This was also held in Benghazi, under the chairmanship of Saleh, and the presence of First Deputy Speaker, Fawzi Al-Nuwairi.
On 27 September, the Parliament approved a minimum wage of 1,000 dinars in the unified salary bill, encompassing both the public and private sectors.
During its plenary session in September, the Parliament announced the appointment of Abdullah Burazizah as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, replacing Mohamed Al-Hafi.
In his address during the session, Saleh confirmed that the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL), Al-Siddiq Al-Kabir, and the Heads of the Libyan Audit Bureau and the Administrative Control Authority “have lost their legal status and are no longer affiliated with the Parliament.”
Saleh confirmed that “these institutions have failed to abide by the Parliament’s resolutions, and continue to receive orders from the outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU) led by Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba.”
Saleh also accused the Presidential Council of siding with the GNU and failing to remain neutral.
He stated that a plan will be prepared to ensure the equal distribution of oil and gas revenues. This would bypass Al-Kabir, and the Chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC).
Libya is politically torn between Fathi Bashagha, who was elected by the Libyan Parliament to lead the country in February, and Dbaiba, who refuses to relinquish power.
Tensions have been rising for months as the two Prime Ministers vie for power; rising fears of renewed conflict two years after a landmark truce.
