Two board members of the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) have resigned, citing Prime Minister Faiez al-Sarraj’s interference in the LIA’s work as the reason.
Both Khalid Khalifa and Abdul Aziz Khalid submitted their resignations on Monday.
In statements to 218News, Khalifa said that both of them decided to resign when Sarraj started to appoint his advisors in leading positions in the LIA and its affiliated companies.
Last February, Sarraj appointed his advisor, Yousef al-Mabrouk, as the LIA vice chairman, and Mustafa al-Manaa, advisor to the Central Bank of Libya, as an additional member of the LIA’s Board of Directors.
The two decisions have since triggered a controversy about Sarraj’s administration.
