The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh told the French website “Jeune Afrique” that the electrical stations in Libya have not been subject to maintenance for 10 years, and some of them are more than 40 years old, and therefore they are out of service.”

He explained in an exclusive interview to the website that “the national unity government has spent 1 billion dinars on periodic maintenance of electrical stations, and they still need more, with delays in work due to the difficulty of obtaining spare parts for these stations because they are old.”

Dbeibeh stated that “the hours of unloading loads will decrease starting from July 7, as soon as the new stations in Tobruk, Misrata and Janzour are operational, indicating that the outages will not disappear completely, but we will not witness complete darkness, and we still need a number of stations to cover the deficit.”

The Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh said today, Tuesday, that “the elections were a priority of our government, but our responsibility in the elections of December 24th was very limited, which is to secure them.”

Dbeibeh added in an interview with the French website “Jeune Afrique” that “all the authorities are behind their schedule, and we are waiting for the House of Representatives and the State to complete their mission during their meeting in Cairo under the auspices of Williams, in order to prepare for the elections, noting that if the Cairo meetings established the election law, we can organize them in a month or two because everything is ready.”

The Prime Minister indicated that “if the State and Parliament do not reach a consensus on a constitutional basis, we will invite citizens to protest and express their desire to hold elections, as we cannot wait indefinitely.” He pointed out that “the problem is not with the government, but it is between the House of Representatives and the state. If Abdul Hamid was replaced by Fathi, this would not mean the issuance of the election law and the constitutional rule.”

Regarding the oil fields closure, Dbeibeh stated: “The Libyan people have become used to standing in front of difficulties, and the Central Bank has reserves of 50 billion dollars. We are still producing gas, and we will withstand this ordeal.”

The economic expert, Suleiman Al-Shahoumy, said that the approval of the state’s general budget by Parliament today puts the executive state institutions such as the Central Bank and the regulatory bodies such as the Audit Bureau, the Administrative Control Authority and the Judicial System to a real test of the legality of collecting, spending public money and oversight over it, stressing that there is no jurisprudence with the legal text.”

Al-Shahoumi added that the continued existence of a government without local legitimacy, the approaching end of international legitimacy and the presence of a government that encourages parliamentary legitimacy, will be a real test for the international community, noting that the option of forming a committee to manage Libyan oil revenues that the Americans strongly promote, may be the way to implementation.
