Engineer Masoud Shriha stated in a comment to our source regarding the cancellation of the arbitrary transfer decision, in which the ruling was issued with an enforcement clause to cancel the decision and compensate with 10,000 Libyan dinars, a ruling that has not yet been executed by the National Oil Corporation. In contrast, foreign rulings related to corruption cases, such as the case of Lukoil, the supplier of contaminated petrol, the corporation quickly moves to implement the rulings and settle the case by paying the amount of 42 million dollars.
He also said: “I firmly believe that the involved company was surprised by the speed with which they agreed to the settlement, and their willingness to accept the Libyan position is evident in the company’s waiver of 20% of the announced amount.”
Shriha mentioned that as a Libyan citizen, he is supposed to enjoy his full rights within the country. During the case, he was deprived of his basic rights, as his salary was suspended for 8 months, and the corporation delayed the payment of his dues despite the issuance of an urgent ruling to stop the execution. Some of his dues have still not been paid to this day, and the latest ruling, a final judicial ruling from Libyan courts, has not been implemented. However, a foreign judicial ruling has been executed by the oil corporation, which clearly reflects disrespect and diminishment of the Libyan judiciary, the Attorney General’s office, and the security authorities.
He questioned the role of the rule of law, good governance, and citizenship rights, which our rulers often boast about.
He also called on the Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (Abdulhamid Dbeibeh), who has repeatedly spoken out against injustice, to ensure justice is served and the court ruling is enforced.
Adding that, although he had hoped for good from the Prime Minister, his observations from what he sees and hears in the media give a poor impression of how his case is being handled, and he hopes he is wrong about this.
Shriha concluded by thanking the judiciary, which was fair and just in his case, and stressed the need for strict action against anyone obstructing the execution of rulings so that the pillars of justice are fulfilled by the concerned authorities. “God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those seeking personal and foreign interests at the expense of the nation and its citizens.”
