Dar Al-Wafa Elderly Care Association urges investigation into bank account freeze
The Dar Al-Wafa Elderly Care Association has warned that the freezing of its bank accounts by Jumhouria Bank threatens to halt its operations, preventing the payment of staff salaries and the provision of basic care to residents, raising the risk of a humanitarian crisis.
The freeze was reportedly based on a default court ruling in favor of Bariq Libya for Catering Services, a former service provider. Although the Association states that all dues were paid when the contract ended, the company later filed a lawsuit demanding three million Libyan dinars, without informing the Association.
Dar Al-Wafa is calling for an immediate investigation into the judgment and its execution, the lifting of the account freeze, and the formation of an independent committee to reassess the case.
It also stressed that it operates under the General Authority of the Social Solidarity Fund, and its funds classified as public, which should not be subject to seizure.
The Association also noted it was never notified of the legal action, denying it the chance to defend itself. Tags: Dar Al-Wafa Elderly Care Jumhouria Bank
