Tripoli, 17 January 2014:
During Tuesday’s press conference, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan admitted that the state bureucracy was stifling . . .[restrict]his government and he that has weaknesses.
With regards to the army Zeidan said that his government has tried different ways to rebuild the army with training both at home and abroad.
However he admitted that “the performance of the state is slow and that it is related to individuals and their abilities and performance. The performance of the state’s administrative system (bureaucracy) is very slow and is a daily reality.
The government takes a decision and puts it into effect, but it does not reach the end of the process in the prescribed time despite the follow-up. This matter needs a warning to all that the nation needs to get serious when it comes to the matter of work and it needs us to react strongly to this matter”, Zeidan said.
Zeidan, who has faced mounting criticism for his ineffectiveness, including a pending vote of no-confidence at the GNC, has in turn blamed that ineffectiveness squarely on the weak post revolutionary state that Libya finds itself in, rather than his personal leadership.
Nevertheless, at Tuesday’s press conference Zeidan said I am “not shy to admit to my weaknesses. I am human working in circumstances where everything is handcuffed, yet we want to achieve things in record time and in difficult times”, he explained. [/restrict]
