UN envoy for Libya Martin Kobler
Shahhat, Libya (IINA) – UN Envoy for Libya Martin Kobler has said "it’s very important now that second list of ministers, that will be presented, passes the House of Representatives (HoR).
Following his meeting with House of Representatives President Agila Saleh on Friday, Kobler said in a press conference in Shahhat, a town in the District of Jabal al Akhdar in north-eastern Libya, that he conveyed a message that it's now very important to speedily move ahead with the political process, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) reported.
"The Presidency Council at this stage sitting together to draft the new list of ministers, and I am of the opinion that it has to be a list based on competence and that the House of Representatives should really now for the second time endorse this list presented by the Presidency Council,” he said.
Kobler has mentioned three reasons for the need to immediately move ahead with the political process, including the expansion of Daesh in Libya's east and west territories as well the south; the deteriorating humanitarian situation, particularly the medical situation; and the real shrinking of the country's financial resources.
"That's why I encourage all Libyan politicians, and particularly members of the House of Representatives to go ahead with the second list. And I totally agreed with the president of the House of Representatives that Libya must have a Government of National Accord, a unity government and this government must go as soon as possible into Tripoli, the capital of this country," the UN envoy said.
