Dabaiba, who swore to hand over power only after elections, promised to provide aid to Libyans to buy land and homes and said he would raise some state salaries and continue to support marriages.
But his status and that of the interim government he leads is at stake after Parliament commissioned former Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha to form a new government..
Dabaiba, who announced the plan in a speech marking the anniversary of the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, says he will not recognize the legitimacy of Bashagha’s appointment..
Bashagha is holding consultations with the political blocs and is scheduled to present a new government formation next week, in a step that will determine whether the parliament’s efforts to replace Dabaiba have succeeded or are doomed to failure.
