The Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) said in a statement on Sunday that the Minister of Oil, Mohammed Oun, is insisting on transgressing his powers and practicing a policy of misinformation for the purpose of disrupting the work of the National Oil Corporation.
The NOC added that it was able to achieve the highest financial revenues for the Libyan treasury in light of the scarcity of budgets and the lack of the necessary funding resources, referring to legal confusion and fallacies regarding Oun’s claim that the Chairman of the NOC was suspended from work on October 14, 2021.
The NOC reported that the Administrative Control Authority, which is the highest supervisory authority in the country, had ruled, in accordance with its letter No. 21-7596 dated October 25, 2021, that the decision of the Minister of Oil was invalid, and the Authority considered that this decision is nothingness because it was issued by a non-specialist.
It also said it had clarified on several occasions the invalidity of these flawed decisions issued by the minister with more personal than professional motives that reflect a great shortcoming and lack of understanding of the law regulating state institutions, which defines the powers of everyone without exception.
