Financial and administrative corruption impede the Government of the National Accord (GNA)’s Ministry of Interior from acting properly, top police official Fathi Bashagha said Sunday.
During a meeting with officials at the Ministry of Interior, Bashagha said there is chaos in the ministry due to unofficial and disorganized decisions made by some of its employees.
He added that most foreign companies and embassies are willing to return to Libya if stability has been achieved.
Hence, the Ministry of Interior will set mid-year plan to secure Tripoli and its neighboring regions, the minister continued.
“Security chaos in Libya offers propitious conditions for IS and other terrorist groups,” Bashagha said Dec. 25 at a joint news conference in Tripoli with Foreign Minister Mohamed Taher Siala after a suicide bombing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Bashagha added that since he assumed the position in October, the Ministry of Interior has had no budget to operate with, and faces administrative corruption.
