Al-Harati declares to our source about the confusion regarding the functions of the control authorities

The legal advisor Hisham Al-Harati stated exclusively to our source, that: “The role of the control authorities is complementary to each other to achieve transparency and combat corruption, as the Libyan legislator gave the task of examining, auditing and reviewing the accounts to the Audit Bureau, and in order to achieve the highest rates of disclosure, the law explicitly authorized the Audit Bureau to have the right to exercise the previous, accompanying and subsequent control works in accordance with the controls set by the law.”

He added by saying: “The legislator has established the Administrative Control Authority and granted it powers to track down and investigate financial and administrative violations, and it has been given the right to stop the one who caused damage to public money, as well as to stop disposing of the accounts of the authorities subject to oversight in the event that it finds suspicions, in addition to that the law of the establishment of the commission authorized it to conduct a sudden inspection at any time, and the legislator considered it entitled to review all documents.”

He concluded his speech by saying: “Therefore, the whirlwind raised in particular is unjustified, and the authorities subject to oversight must comply with any measures aimed at preserving public money, and members of the control authorities must avoid abuse of the right in order to achieve personal interests that shake confidence in these authorities.”
