The General Assembly of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) sacked the board of directors and appointed a new one in a meeting chaired by the Head of the Presidential Council Fayez Al-Sarraj on Sunday.

The new board of directors include Abdelsalam Al-Ansari, Wiam Al-Abdali, Radwan Khalil, Majdi Soluiman, Abdelhakim Al-Ferjani, Al-Bashir Al-Taher, Mohammed Ashour, and Mohammed Al-Sharif after setting criteria for this selection in a previous GECOL meeting.

It will be recalled that the GECOL board has been under great pressure to sack its chairman and chief executive. Last week there was a demonstration outside Faiez Serraj’s office against GECOL.
