TRIPOLI, 10 March, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, the Libyan PM-designate Abdel Hamid Dbeibah condemned the fierce campaign that aimed at destroying the country.

The campaign he referred was presumably the suspicion of corruption in the process that led him to this designation.

While speaking to the deputies at a meeting in Sirte calling on them to unify for Libya he said, “It is a plot and a campaign led by those who want to destroy our country, who want to occupy it, we have no choice but to come to an agreement." 

According to a UN Committee Experts report, the inter-Libyan dialogue sponsored by the UN and which led to the appointment of Mr. Dbeibah was tainted by corruption.

It is due to be submitted formally to the 15 members of the UN-SC by the mid of March.

The report is not revealed to the public however the excerpts have already caused an outcry in Libya.

Mr. Abdel had already defended the "integrity" of the process.

"My first objective was to choose people I would be able to work with, no matter where they came from. They "must be able to work for all Libyans," he said while defending the composition of his government.

On the other hand, the Libyan lawmakers began consultations on Monday aiming at confirming the new government appointed that would lead the country towards a sound and democratic elections by the end of this year.
