Parallel body obstructs salaries of BMPC workers in Eastern and Central Libya, BPMC seeks quick resolution
Brega Petroleum Marketing Company (BMPC) confirms that its workers in Eastern and Central Libya have not received salaries for September after the newly created parallel board of directors obstructed payment by Tripoli, and banks declined to recognise the legitimacy of the parallel body’s instructions and seized the bank accounts.
BPMC chairman, Imad Ben Koura, said: “We will pay all employees‘ salaries as soon as possible. The salaries of employees in all other regions of Libya have already been paid without delays. The parallel board prevented September payment recipient details of Central and Eastern regions employees being sent to the Company management in Tripoli. This illegitimate body is creating chaos, causing suffering and interfering with the livelihoods of our workers after failing to seize the main bank balances of the company. I assure BPMC workers in the Central and Eastern regions that we are doing everything in our power to reach a quick solution.”
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya reaffirmed last week that the Tripoli-based National Oil Corporation is the only legitimate body entitled to import and export crude oil and petroleum products to and from Libya.
