Central Bank Governor to be Removed?
The General National Congress (GNC), in a surprise move, has announced that it is to appoint a new Governor and Deputy Governor to the Central Bank of Libya (CBL).
“The GNC Budget, Planning and Finance Committee announce the invitation of applications for the posts of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) Governor and the CBL Deputy Governor”, the post on the GNC’s webpage read.
“These vacancies will be open between, Sunday, 22 July and Wednesday, 7 August 2013. Candidates can apply during working hours during the two weeks from the date of this announcement”.
“Applicants must submit their personal resume and fill-in the special application form prepared by the Committee which is published on its official website at; www.gnc.gov.ly”.
“Applications are received during working hours at the Committee’s Headquarters at Palace No.19, Hospitality Palaces, GNC Headquarters. Applications can also be submitted by email to www.gnc.gov.ly”, the statement concluded.
The statement gives no indication if the CBL Governor, Saddek Omar Elkaber (pictured), has resigned, retired, is being sacked or is being removed as a result of the Political Isolation Law.
