Tripoli, 23 September 2103:

Congress’ Antiquity and Tourism Committee has come out against  the plan to convert the King’s . . .[restrict]Palace, which currently houses the Museum of Libya, into offices for the Supreme Judicial Council.

The government announced the move last month but there has been mounting opposition to it, from civic groups in the capital to members of the government itself.

Meeting today, the Congressional committee said that the palace was an important building that heeded to be safeguarded and that it would say so to the Prime Minister.

Its move is seen a the final nail in the coffin for the Supreme Judicial Council’s hopes.

Aware of the opposition, the Prime Minister two weeks ago distanced himself from the decision saying that he did not have a fixed view on the subject and that he would do what ws the best for Libyans. “We will not hesitate to reverse our decision if we are wrong. We will try to find a compromise solution”, he said.

In addition to the issue of the King’s Palace, the committee looked into the way tourist offices are being run local councils and said it needed to have a closer look at what was happening by organising some field visits.

It also discussed also the idea of a national Libyan heritage institute. [/restrict]
