The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) has called judicial, administrative and prosecution authorities in the country to immediately investigate accusations of corruption and public funds wastage included in 2017 report of the Audit Bureau.

“The investigation should not bother whether the report was transparent and authentic or not.” The CBL said in a statement Saturday.

The CBL said it will suspend government spending and budget of 2018 except for salaries and subsidies, but will allow spending for emergency matters and issues related to taking away people’s suffering.

Meanwhile, the Audit Bureau’s 2017 report accused state institutions including Presidential Council of spending billions of dinars over the past years, wasting a whole lot of those sums in unjustifiable manners.
