MP cautions against ‘dangerous step' in proposed oversight law
BY Libyan Express Aug 20, 2025 - 08:09 Updated: Aug 20, 2025 - 08:13 Libyan MP warns of expanded powers for Administrative Control Authority Member of Parliament Azeddin Quwerib said that one of Libya's main challenges lies in the performance of sovereign institutions. He noted that instead of reforming and correcting their structures, Parliament has increasingly strengthened their authority by passing legislation at their request. Quwerib explained that the draft law submitted by the Administrative Control Authority would grant the body extensive new powers, effectively making it both a contracting and an executive authority. 'No contract could be concluded without its signature and approval,' he said, describing the proposal as a 'dangerous step' towards the concentration of power. He added: 'There is constant debate about contracts worth less than five million dinars, while in reality billions have been squandered without ever being subject to proper oversight.' He pointed out that the draft had not been presented to the Legislative Committee in Parliament, which, he argued, raises serious concerns. Quwerib concluded that passing such legislation while disputes over sovereign appointments remain unresolved would amount to unjustified overreach and risk undermining the balance of oversight required to protect public funds.

Libya's army leadership becomes a Haftar dynasty
BY Libyan Express Aug 19, 2025 - 07:34 Updated: Aug 19, 2025 - 07:35 From commander to father figure: Haftar hands power to his sons Egyptian writer and journalist Khaled Mahmoued revealed in a post on his X account that Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), has made a surprise move by appointing his son, Khalid Haftar, as Chief of Staff of the Army. The decision comes as Lieutenant General Abdulrazek al-Nadoori was reassigned to the post of National Security Advisor. According to Mahmoued, the House of Representatives in Benghazi ratified the decision during its session yesterday, cementing the rise of Haftar's sons within the military hierarchy. Khalid now occupies the role of Chief of Staff, while his brother, Saddam Haftar, had earlier been appointed Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the LNA. The reshuffle has stirred wide debate in Libya. Critics see it as an early attempt to entrench hereditary succession of power within the institution, while supporters argue it is a pragmatic step necessitated by the challenges of the current phase.
