The Libyan Parties Association announced its intention to file a lawsuit against the speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, demanding the annulment of the decision to impose a fee on the sale price of foreign exchange.
The gathering expressed surprise and astonishment at the silence and indifference suffered by the Libyan people.
The statement pointed out that $ 12 billion deficit in the state budget must be paid by the people from their pockets, which is why the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya threw the ball in the court of the Speaker of Parliament Aguila Saleh to issue Resolution No. 15 imposing additional fees on the exchange rate of 27%, which will immediately increase the already inflamed prices to 30% above their current price.
The gathering noted that the decision taken by the Speaker of the House of Representatives unilaterally is null and void because it contradicts Law No. 4 of 2014, which regulates the work of the House of Representatives, and contradicts Law No. 1 of 2005 on banks and its amendment, which stipulates that the approval and regulation of monetary policy in the country is the prerogative of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank collectively.
The gathering called on members of the House of Representatives and the first deputy of the House of Representatives to take steps to put an end to the authority of Aguila Saleh, noting that his continuation in office poses a threat to the unity and safety of the country.
