Dbeibah warns of new financial catastrophe orchestrated by HoR led by Aqila Saleh
Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, has rejected the budget approved by the House of Representatives for Belgassim Haftar's reconstruction fund, describing it as 'reckless.' In a meeting of the Council of Ministers in Tripoli, Dbeibah said that approving a budget for a single entity while blatantly ignoring more than 20 official institutions of the state is a clear attempt to seize oil revenues without any financial or legal oversight. He stressed that any spending outside the official budget will drive the dollar exchange rate up and increase inflation at the expense of the citizen, emphasizing that such projects serve political propaganda, not development, and are funded from the pockets of Libyans, draining what remains of the nation's resources. The Prime Minister added that parallel spending has exceeded 100 billion dinars in two years without any controls or oversight, warning that such recklessness threatens the Libyan dinar and must stop. He called on the Attorney General, the Audit Bureau, and the Administrative Control Authority to reveal the truth to the public without hesitation. Dbeibah warned of a new financial disaster being created by the House of Representatives under the leadership of Aqila Saleh, stating that there is no justification for reconstruction claims if they are merely used as a cover for looting public funds and destroying the economy.

Dbeibah calls on HoR Speaker to disclose fate of 100 billion dinars spent outside official budget in the past 2 years
Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, has called on Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aqila Saleh, to disclose the fate of more than 100 billion Libyan dinars that were spent outside the official budget over the past two years. Dbeibah reiterated his government's firm rejection of any parallel public spending paths that fall outside legitimate frameworks. The statement came during a meeting Dbeibah held on Monday at the Prime Minister's Office in Tripoli with several members of the High Council of State to discuss current political and economic developments, monitor the government's stability plan, and address efforts to unify institutions and protect the national economy from what he described as "parallel financial chaos," according to the "Hakomitna" platform on Facebook. During the meeting, Dbeibah warned that these parallel financial practices impose massive burdens on the state, as funds are spent in non-genuine areas and later offset through public debt — effectively deducting from citizens' pockets and diminishing the real value of their incomes. He stressed that the Libyan people do not benefit from projects implemented at inflated costs outside the unified financial system, questioning: 'What's the point of projects implemented at double the cost, only to be paid for through public debt, which comes directly out of citizens' pockets?' The Prime Minister's comments were a direct reference to ongoing HoR discussions regarding the proposed budget for the 'Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund,' headed by Belgassim Haftar and linked to the parallel government in the east. Dbeibah renewed his demand for Aqila Saleh to reveal the fate of over 100 billion dinars spent outside the official budget in the past two years. He emphasized that this demand is not merely about transparency, but a direct consequence of the impact such spending has had on the Libyan dinar's value and the resulting negative effects on citizens' incomes and market confidence. He noted that several economic experts have warned that approving an alternative budget — despite its legal violations — could directly lead to a rise in the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market, due to shaken financial confidence and increased pressure on reserves. This, in turn, threatens currency stability and the standard of living for Libyans. He said that the national and legal responsibility lies with all institutions to halt this financial spending, defend the unity of public finances, and safeguard the stability of Libya's economy and currency.
