Two officials of capital’s municipality dismissed after President’s visits Thursday (Interior)

Tunis: The Ministry of the Interior announced on Friday evening the dismissal of the acting head of the Tunis municipality and the director general of roads, green spaces and parks in the capital's municipality. The ministry attributed the decisions to the numerous shortcomings of the two departments and their equipment, as well as the negligence of municipal officials in carrying out their duties. On Thursday, President Kais Saied visited the Tunis Municipality's equipment and cleanliness departments and met with a number of officials at the Tunis Municipal Palace, urging them to assume their responsibilities, quickly remedy the situation and redouble their efforts to meet the needs of citizens. The President of the Republic also visited the Tunis Municipality's Department of Health and Environmental Protection and the adjacent municipal park, where he inspected the facility's shortcomings.
