Candidate Rim Barhoumi for the local elections in the Jbel Jloud constituency, within the Tunis 1 district, emphasised that her electoral programme aims to address issues related to upgrading infrastructure, including roads, public transportation, and the development of areas dedicated to shared taxis and cabs in the region.
She also pledged to establish a municipal kindergarten and day-cares, with access fees determined based on the residents’ purchasing power.
Additionally, among the candidate’s promises are the establishment of a night pharmacy and a recreational space dedicated to the youth.
A 42-year-old municipal employee, Barhoumi, told TAP on Monday that she is a native of Jbel Jloud and fully understands the aspirations and concerns of the region’s residents.
Despite its proximity to the capital, Tunis, our region has always been “marginalised,” she pointed out, emphasising that Jbel Jloud never had a decent infrastructure.
The candidate expressed will to see the local council of the region ful
fil its mission and meet the locals’ aspirations
She also hoped that the council members would identify the real problems of the region and develop efficient policies and strategies to resolve them promptly.
For her, it is no longer the time for empty promises, hollow slogans, and wishful thinking.
It is worth noting that the Jbel Jaloud constituency, part of Tunis 1, has several electoral districts.
It is an industrial zone par excellence, housing many industrial units with high unemployment rates, pervasive juvenile delinquency.
