While answering the following question; “Who are the six individuals that control the sustenance of the Libyans?”, the spokesperson for the National Forces Alliance initiative, Mohamed Chubar, said during a televised interview for WTV channel and Tabadul Platform that the bank account that was set up in order to transfer the revenues of the state’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) aims to protect the revenues against theft.
“There is hardly any Libyan institution that has not been robbed.” The spokesperson said, adding that the amount of the looted funds is really large.
Chubar pointed out that the National Oil Corporation (NOC) has no right to suspend the transfer of revenues to the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) considering that it is no an oversight institution.
The new account number had been opened by agreement among the board of directors in Tripoli as well as in the Eastern region. This agreement, according to the spokesman, aimed at resolving the economic crisis and providing a great atmosphere for the political discussions.
With reference to the openness that has occurred recently, not only at the level of the country’s airports or seaports, but also at the level of oil, Chubar considered that Libya has moved to a post-conflict stage, stressing that the next phase would an be economic one.
“Serious steps related to the arms embargo in Libya have been taken under pressure from the United States, and checking the Turkish cargo ship that had been suspected of taking weapons to Libya is a proof of that.” He said.
