London, 24 May 2021:
Libya’s parliament (the House of Representatives – HoR) discussed the amended 2021 budget presented to it by the Libyan government led by Prime Minister Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba today.
It is still unclear how the voting will go with those with objections to parts of the budget dominating today’s proceedings.
The main objections to the amended 2021 budget
The main objections to the amended 2021 budget are that the amended budget estimated at LD 93 billion is still way too large for a government whose term should end with the holding of the 24 December 2021 elections.
Members objected to the media and public narrative that parliament was being obstructionist in delaying the budget’s approval. They reminded that it was parliament’s role and duty to scrutinize government’s activity – including its budget – and safeguard public funds.
