TUNIS, April 8: The State -driven by the determination to embark on a new stage in building – is very capable of rooting out the forces of destruction which sneaked into administrations in a vain attempt to sabotage the country, President Kaïs Saïed said.
There is need to enforce laws that respond to the expectations of Tunisians as part of a stable welfare state ridden from the injustice that plagued the people for decades.
The President of the Republic also told a ceremony held in Monastir to commemorate the 26th anniversary of the late leader Habib Bourguiba’s death several sectors require an overhaul.
Progress made in connection to some services still falls short of expectations, the Head of State added. Tunisia, though, is able to meet the demands of the people by capitalising on its human resources.
“We have the necessary means to transform Tunisia from the north to the south; our destiny lies in our hands,” he highlighted. The fact some projects are on hold across the country under the pretext of administrative procedures-notwithstanding the availability of funds- is “deliberate,” President Kaïs Saïed said in another vein.
He pointed the finger at those who seeped through the workings of the administration to destabilise the state and drive it to implode. “Those who cannot fully discharge their mission need to make way for the more competent, especially as the country boasts highly patriotic youth capable of making active contribution,” Saïed added.
New revelations will be made about stolen assets, Kaïs Saïed said in another connection. The State is endevouring to recover these assets without any compromise and will forge ahead with the “battle of national liberation” so as to meet the aspirations of the people, in spite of attempts of lobbies which continue to act against the interests of the State.
“These lobbies revealed their faces and lost all credibility among Tunisians; the latter demonstrated unequalled lucidity by unmasking their manœuvres,” he underlined. Public service television broadcaster is urged today to reconsider its discourse, the President underscored.
“Some concepts have become obsolete for Tunisians, The national broadcaster needs to be in the service of the country and citizens,” he further said, as it can play a critical role in raising the awareness of youth about the use of narcotics, in particular.
