Through a phone call, Williams and Bashagha reach an understanding regarding oil and its revenues

The Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Libya, Stephanie Williams, stressed during a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister-designate of the House of Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, on the need to refrain from using Libyan oil production as a weapon for political purposes, while calling for an end to the oil fields closure.

As Williams said: “We believe that oil revenues, which are the lifeblood of the Libyan people, must be managed in a fully transparent and accountable manner and distributed equitably among all Libyans.”

For his part, the Prime Minister-designated by Representatives, Fathi Bashagha, stressed the need for a fair distribution and transparent management of oil revenues, so that they are not used for political purposes, adding that the government, during its meeting yesterday in Sebha, decided to visit the oil fields and find out the reasons for the closures and address them.
