Prime Minister Aldabaiba urges his Finance Minister to complete and refer the draft 2022 budget to parliament – parliament never approved 2021 budget and wants to remove AldabaibaBy Sami Zaptia. Tripoli, 29 January 2022:Libyan Prime Minister Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba is doing his best to project the image that his position and that of his government are secure and normal – at odds with Libya’s political reality. Earlier, Aldabaiba had instructed his ministers to publish the details of the central and local projects and identify them in each municipality, and the financial amounts allocated to them within the 2021 budget. This is fantasy thinking by Aldabaiba as the HoR had not even approved his 2021 budget. There were many factors for this withdrawal of confidence, but the 2021 budget, its size, details and distribution and alleged corrupt squandering, was a major reason.
