The Audit Bureau announced that some of the responses to their reports bore unacceptable abuse and uttered irresponsible terms, including what was stated by the head of the General Authority for Al-Awqaf, as it included personal abuse, misleading public opinion and deviating from the balanced context supposed to be issued by an official in a government institution subject to the law, with the aim of casting doubt on what was stated in the report of the Audit Bureau.
The Audit Bureau stressed that it must reveal more information about the violating behavior committed by Al-Awqaf Authority, in relation to the purchase of expensive traditional clothes represented by 1,366 traditional Arab customers at a value of 700,000 dinars, 19 of which were given to contestants, and the rest was distributed to the authority’s employees, in violation.
The Audit Bureau stressed that, in accordance with the law regulating it, its reports, which cannot be questionable from those whose violations and behaviors were reported, were documented and proven with sufficient evidence, collected for publication and referral.
The head of the General Authority for Al-Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Mohamed Al-Abani, had said that the Audit Bureau’s report contains numbers and results that are erroneously estimated, with unknown origins.
Al-Abani added, in a speech recorded on Al-Awqaf page on Facebook, Thursday, that the Audit Bureau does not care about the responses it receives from most state institutions, which are affected by the report.
He pointed out that the Audit Bureau, during its work, lacks professionalism that brings real and untrue results.
Al-Abani stated that what was dealt with in the report of the Audit Bureau about the amount of 700 thousand that was spent to buy the Libyan uniform, is untrue, and that the account of Al-Awqaf Authority did not leave a single dinar to the company from which the َAudit Bureau said that the Libyan uniform was bought.
Al-Abani explained that according to the law, the Audit Bureau must refer its annual reports to the presidents of the House of Representatives and the Council of Ministers, and not publish this information in this reckless manner, which harms Libyan national security, according to him.
The Audit Bureau, then, came out and showed all the evidence to deny what Al-Abani said.
