The former head of the Libyan Post Telecommunications & Information Technology Company, “Faisal Qarqab, said in a statement to the Flusna program: “The work team and company managers are not my relatives, and we work efficiently in the LPTIC.”
He added: “In 2014, we wanted to bring in a foreign person as an executive director in one of the sector companies. A lot of problems resulted, but we did not take any step without consulting the Audit Bureau.”
He revealed: “We have launched a national program for digital transformation since 2013 by making all government sectors without the need for citizens to stand in queues and travel from one city to another.”
He added that “we are not a party of the US-Chinese conflict regarding the fifth generation and the accusations between the two sides of espionage, but the government must make a political decision in this regard.
He continued by saying: “Our contract with the American “Infinera” company with Hatif Libya is an important shift to change the dividers, to increase data transmission capacities, and to work on a submarine cable between Libya and Europe and a fiber-optic cable with Africa to be a transit country in data transmission. We faced fierce opposition in this matter.”
He emphasized by saying: “The circumstances I went through made me refrain from everything related to the state and government. Positions became granted to all. After this experience I began thinking a thousand times before going into a new one.”
He added: “We invested 100 million dinars for sustainable development and entrepreneurship support, which provided us with many successful projects.”
He stressed: “In the darkest of circumstances, there was always a glimmer of hope that make us wake up every morning to work again.”
