“Role of judges in combating corruption”, focus of Head of State’s meeting with President of Provisional Supreme Judicial Council

The “role of judges in the fight against corruption and the accountability of corruptors” was the focus of the meeting between President Kais Saied, Monday afternoon at Carthage Palace, with President of Provisional Supreme Judicial Council, Moncef Moncef Kchaou.

Moreover, the president stressed that “the procedures were put in place to ensure a fair trial, not to use them to achieve impunity,” considering that “it is unacceptable that many cases remain published for years, without a final decision being taken on them, issuing many judgments and preparatory tests, rights are lost and guilt escapes responsibility against the people and the homeland,” said a statement issued by the Presidency of the Republic.

Kais Saied also stressed that “nothing can be achieved without an independent, efficient and fair judicial system that is equal before all people”.
