The House of Representatives (HoR) announced on Friday that it had decided to suspend the decision issued in 2018 to appoint Mohammed Al-Shukri as Governor of the Central Bank of Libya to replace Al-Siddiq Al-Kabir.
The HoR said in a statement that the suspension was due to the expiry of Al-Shukri’s assignment period and his failure to assume his duties from the date of appointment.
The statement indicated that the Presidency of the HoR’s decision No. (25) of 2023, which stipulated the delegation of powers, and included the assignment of Al-Siddiq Al-Kabir as Governor of the Central Bank of Libya with Marie Raheel as Deputy Governor, would continue to be implemented.
In January 2018, Al-Shukri took the legal oath before 50 members of the HoR during the session held in Tobruk after his election to this position.
