Tripoli, 17 July 2013:
Members of the General . . .[restrict]National Congress (GNC) will this week be answering questions about their involvement with the old regime, as the Political Isolation Law starts to be applied to them.
Political Isolation Law questionnaires were distributed to members of Congress yesterday and completed forms will be collected on Monday.
The questionnaire has three parts, and Congress members are required to tick either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ box for each question. The first part has 43 questions about employment under the former regime. The second part has nine questions relating to behaviour that could have led to corruption in politics, economics and administration. The third and last part has 11 questions, about people who will be isolated politically or administratively.
“I have no objection to the questionnaire,” independent Congressman from Gharyan, Mohamed Al-Tomi, told the Libya Herald. “Personally, I will not be isolated because I have been in the opposition since my nails were soft.”
National Forces Alliance party member Hajer Al-Gayd told the Libya Herald that the questionnaire was merely an attempt to implement the Political Isolation Law. She did criticise some of the questions, however, saying that it would take a strong character to admit to stealing public money. [/restrict]
