The President of the Libyan Technology Foundation, “Amin Saleh,” stated: “Today, I was among the attendees at the ‘Clarification Forum 2,’ organized by the Libyan Audit Bureau, in my capacity as President of the Libyan Technology Foundation. I raised a number of questions as a component of civil society, on 11-02-2026, at the Municipal Guard Officers Institute – Janzour.”
He continued: “My questions to the Head of the Audit Bureau, which he answered with openness and a smile, were as follows:”
Why doesn’t the Bureau issue detailed sectoral reports at the ministerial or municipal level?
He responded that sectoral reports on the education and health sectors, among others, will be issued soon, in addition to qualitative reports that will include more detailed indicators and data than those published in the annual report.
Where does the state, with its laws and institutions, stand regarding the Global Corruption Index and Libya’s ranking (175–180)?
He replied that it is regrettable for all of us to have reached this level, and that Transparency International’s reports reflect the reality of transparency. He noted that there is ongoing communication with the organization to address the fundamental shortcomings before focusing on Libya’s image in the reports, in order to understand what is lacking and identify the deficiencies and problems.
He added that the National Committee for the Anti-Corruption Strategy includes several entities and will work in the coming period on six pillars. It has completed two pillars (or targets) by 80%, and there will be further efforts to enhance transparency.
What has the state done to protect whistleblowers from civil society (unions, federations, associations, elite forums)?
He responded that the Audit Bureau is a financial oversight body and does not receive reports directly, but rather refers them. The entities responsible for receiving complaints are the Administrative Control Authority and the National Anti-Corruption Authority.
He explained that—unfortunately—there is still no legislation protecting whistleblowers, and that this matter falls under the jurisdiction of Parliament. He affirmed that the Bureau operates within its mandate and handles what is referred to it to the extent possible, given the current state of government institutions.
Important note: The Libyan Technology Foundation collaborates with the Audit Bureau on a number of initiatives, in addition to working within the framework of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy Committee.
