Exclusive: Audit Bureau Deputy Demands Suspension of $6.8 Million Martyrs’ Square Development Project

Our source has exclusively obtained a letter from the Deputy of the Audit Bureau, Attia Allah Hussein Abdul Kareem, addressed to the Chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC).

In the correspondence, the Deputy requested the suspension of the direct-award contract for the Martyrs’ Square development and modification project, valued at $6.85 million. The suspension is to remain in effect until the relevant departments of the Audit Bureau complete their review of the contract’s legality.

The Deputy also emphasized the need to fulfill architectural and technical requirements for such a project, given its significant impact on the center of Tripoli. He argued that decisions concerning such a critical area cannot be made through this procedural approach.
