Exclusive: Tripoli Primary Court Rules in Favor of the Audit Bureau on Pre-Contract Oversight

Exclusive sources told our source that the South Tripoli Primary Court has issued its ruling regarding the appeal submitted by the President of the Administrative Control Authority, in his capacity, concerning the implementation of the Constitutional Chamber’s ruling in constitutional case No. 70/9Q. This case had previously ruled the unconstitutionality of Law No. 2 of 2023, issued by the House of Representatives, which amended the law governing the Administrative Control Authority.

According to the court ruling, it reaffirms for the second time that pre-contract oversight is the exclusive jurisdiction of the Audit Bureau, and no other entity. This puts a definitive end to any legal ambiguity regarding the distribution of oversight powers. Consequently, the Administrative Control Authority does not have the authority to carry out this type of oversight, thereby strengthening the principle of separation of oversight bodies and reinforcing respect for judicial rulings—particularly those of the Supreme Court.
