Head of State Kaïs Saïed received the Minister of the Interior, Khaled Nouri, at the Carthage Palace. A meeting marked by a new call to order addressed to local officials, accused of lacking responsiveness to the essential concerns of citizens.
The president considered that it is not normal for the head of state to intervene personally to request the connection of a home to the sanitation network, the installation of public lighting in certain neighborhoods or even the repair of a section of road simply because a complaint has reached him. According to him, these tasks are clearly the responsibility of local and regional authorities.
Kaïs Saïed insisted on the fact that cleaning and maintenance operations in cities should not be limited to one-off campaigns, but constitute continuous work, carried out daily. He also criticized the pretexts often put forward by certain officials, citing complex procedures or a lack of resources.
Warning issued
“In reality, these complications disappear as soon as those responsible are called upon to fully assume their functions,” he said, adding that their role consists precisely of removing obstacles and simplifying administrative procedures. He denounced a waste of public resources in the exchange of correspondence and bureaucratic delays.
The president concluded by calling on each leader to have only one objective: Tunisia. He warned that those who get lost or do not grasp the urgency of the context must know that the youth, in his words, “are coming and will miss neither the target nor the address.”
