The oil ministry has not received a copy of the decision yet, a source at the ministry told Reuters.

The ACA mentioned the title of the minister and referred to him in a short statement with only the three initials of his full name.

The agency, which is mandated to oversee government performance, has powers including to challenge appointments to public positions and to enhance public accountability.
