The Administrative Control Authority has nullified a decision by the Presidential Council (PC) to exempt the Minister of Economy and Industry, Ali Al-Issawi, temporarily from his duties, replacing him, for the time being, with the Minister of Finance.

According to the Authority, the decision is contrary to the provisions of Article six of the political agreement, making the decision null and void. It confirmed in a letter addressed to the Legal Affairs Department of the PC that it had, in fact, initiated an appeal to cancel this decision before the relevant judicial department.

It added that according to the correctness of the law and public interest, this decision must be reversed and the matter solved in the appropriate manner, according to what is written in the political agreement.
