Benghazi, November 11, 2026 (LANA) – Speaker of the House of Representatives, Saleheen Abdulnabi, met on Wednesday at his office at the House of Representatives headquarters in Benghazi with the Mayor and members of the Suluq Municipal Council.

The meeting reviewed the main difficulties and obstacles affecting the municipality's operations. The Mayor requested the allocation of a dedicated emergency budget, given the extensive geographical area of Suluq Municipality and the presence of numerous valleys and drainage channels within its administrative boundaries, which require greater preparedness to respond to emergency situations.

The Mayor of Suluq Municipality, Jamila Al-Lawati, stressed the importance of allocating tax and revenue collection proceeds to the municipality. She pointed out that there is no independent office of the Tax Authority within the municipality, which is administratively affiliated with Qaminis Municipality.

She explained that taxes and revenues collected from commercial activities, quarries, crushers, factories, as well as agricultural and livestock activities located within Suluq Municipality's boundaries are transferred to the Tax Authority in Qaminis.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the Speaker of the House of Representatives affirmed his support for the demands of Suluq Municipality, stressing his commitment to addressing its needs, as well as those of other municipalities, in a manner that contributes to improving the services provided to citizens.
