Head of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee of the Libyan House of Representatives, ‘Issa Al-Araibi,’ explained that lifting subsidies on fuel is decided by the general budget approved by the House of Representatives.
Al-Araibi stressed that lifting subsidies without deep study will affect ordinary citizens, especially in transportation matters in general, and thus will contribute to rising prices.
He pointed out that if the government recognized by the House of Representatives presents a proposal in this regard, the House will amend the budget so that it takes into account those with limited income, and we have the experience of lifting subsidies on food supplies without paying the financial alternative to the citizen, which has increased the burden of the simple citizen.
The Chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee stated, that the Oil Corporation is in continuous communication with the people to consider their demands and achieve them to lift the force majeure on the Sharara field,
noting that the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the House of Representatives is in communication with the National Oil Corporation in this regard.
