Tripoli, 13 April 2014:
There was no General National Congress (GNC) sitting today, with Congress members instead attending committee meetings to discuss . . .[restrict]the budget.
The GNC granted the government an emergency budget of LD 2.5 billion last month to resolve current problems, particularly in regard to security issues faced by the country. The emergency budget was given as a loan from the 2014 budget, which has not yet been agreed upon by the GNC.
Tuesday’s GNC sitting is expected to focus on selecting a new Prime Minister, after the resignation of current government head Abdullah Al-Thinni today.
