Tripoli based Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba continued his new ministerial appointments despite the political opposition to the legality of the appointment process.
Yesterday, he appointed:
- Essam Al-Tamouni as the new Minister of Housing and Reconstruction
- Husni Awaidan as the new Minister of Water Resources
- Jamal Abugrain as the new Minister of State for Displaced Persons and Human Rights
This follows on from the appointment of
- Salem Mustafa Hussein Al-Alam as the new Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development (last Monday 2 March)
- Mohamed Abdel Salam Al-Grew as the new Minister of Education (Monday 2 March)
The appointments are objected to on the grounds that the Tripoli government does not have the authority or mandate to conduct a ministerial reshuffle – without the approval of other Libyan entities such as parliament and the High State Council.
