Libyan MP Calls for Equal Distribution of Wealth Across Libya

June 13, 2023

In an urgent appeal to Parliament, Issa Al-Araibi, the Chairman of the Energy Committee, called for fair distribution of wealth across all Libyan cities.

The appeal was made during his speech in a session at Benghazi, where he expressed “deep concern about the concentration of wealth in the hands of a single family, and the Central Bank of Libya (CBL). He pointed out that “neighbouring countries have been given monetary grants ranging between $50-70 million dollars.”

Al-Araibi shed light on pressing domestic issues, citing that he “has been unable to send 20 cancer patients from Benghazi abroad for treatment. Meanwhile, the head of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba, appears to have the discretion to send patients abroad whenever he wishes.” Al-Araibi attributed this discrepancy to the location of the health office responsible for making these decisions, in Tripoli.

In April, the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Khalifa Haftar called for distributing Libya’s oil revenues fairly, away from selectivity.

During his meeting with military leaders and officers on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, he called for providing job opportunities for recent graduates. He said that the “role of youth in the renaissance of Libya should not be overlooked.”

Haftar urged for “practical steps to improve the economic and social living conditions, and this requires a fair distribution of the oil wealth, so that the Libyan people can enjoy the bounties of their country, which they were deprived of due to selectivity and mood.”

He stressed that the LNA is “the main pillar of national unity, as there is no homeland without an army. Especially when it is an army that has fought, and is still fighting terrorism and extremism on behalf of the world.”

Haftar added that the “strength of the Libyan army lies in being the army of the homeland, as it was able to strengthen cohesion and interdependence with the people. The army units have reached high levels of craftsmanship and professionalism, in addition to their loyalty to the martyrs.”

“The Libyan National Army remains firm, proud, and supportive of a just judiciary, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, and the defence of building a new, democratic, qualified state of Libya. As well as combating corruption in all its forms, developing the professional capabilities of the armed forces, and contributing steadily to rebuilding what the terrorist cowards destroyed,” he concluded.
