Tripoli, 17 May 2013:
Interior Minister Ashour Shuwail handed in his resignation ten days ago, but Prime Minister Ali Zeidan . . .[restrict]has refused to accept it.
“The Interior Minister handed over his resignation to the Prime Ministry but it has not yet been accepted,” spokesman of Libya’s Interior Ministry, Majdi Urufi, said, speaking live on state television station Al-Watanya.
Shawail is one of a number of ministers likely to be affected by the recently-passed Political Isolation Law. Under the old regime he worked with the police authority for 35 years. Despite a long-running investigation into Shuawil by the Integrity Commission, in December last year, he was officially appointed as Interior Minister.
Zeidan had previously denied rumours that Shuwail had resigned. [/restrict]
