Libya’s health minister and his deputy have been detained as part of a corruption probe, prosecutors said Wednesday, the third detention of a cabinet member in recent weeks.

The ministry had signed contracts with a company founded in August last year “despite it lacking… the necessary experience to carry out the agreed tasks”, it added. Libya has been mired in perpetual crisis since the 2011 revolt that toppled dictator Moamer Kadhafi, and corruption is rife throughout state institutions.Zenati’s detention comes after prosecutors questioned Culture Minister Mabrouka Touki in late December over a contract for maintenance works on ministry buildings that had already been refurbished.
