Tunisian President: “The current council has ended and it will be replaced by another council”
Tunisian President Kais Saied said today, Thursday, that the current Supreme Judicial Council has ended and will be dissolved and replaced by another council, and there is no room for questioning this option.
Kais Saied announced, during his supervision of the cabinet meeting, that a decree related to the Supreme Judicial Council will be deliberated upon, dissolving the current council and replacing it with another council.
Said said: “Let it be clear that this council will be dissolved according to this decree and replaced with another council, and there is no room for questioning this option because Tunisia must be purified.”
“The Tunisian people want to purify the country, and the country can only be purified by purifying the judiciary,” he added, stressing that “this issue is vital.
He declared that some of the “slanderers and skeptics want to read between the lines, but to read between the lobbies that motivate them.”
He continued, “The current council has ended and it will be replaced by another council.” The president explained that the issue of justice in Tunisia was raised a long time ago.
Saied stressed that the judicial function is apparently independent, but in reality it is an extension, stressing that judges have a job within the framework of the constitution and they only have to apply the law only with impartiality to everyone.
He revealed that he has many files related to the money received by some, indicating that it is beyond imagination, adding, “After that, the judiciary says that it is independent and there is no control over it.”
Stressed, “The judiciary is a function, not an authority, and all judges are subject to the law, and there can be no state outside the Tunisian state…
We respect them, appreciate their work and the heavy responsibility they bear, but they must bear it independently.”
