President Kais Saied discussed the progress of the government’s work in general during a meeting with Prime Minister Ahmed Hachani on Thursday, stressing the need for harmony in the government’s work as its role is to support the President of the Republic in the exercise of his executive function.
The Head of State stressed the need for the public administration in general to be at the level of this historic period that the country is going through, and “whoever puts flimsy obstacles in the way of the administration of the citizens is not worthy of assuming responsibility”.
“There are some competencies within the administration that have a sense of responsibility and deserve to replace those who do not have this feeling,” he was quoted as saying by the presidency.
In this context, the President of the Republic explained that for the citizens, the State is the sum of the public services, and that those who seek to disrupt its normal functioning and those who do not invoke the principle of neutrality in eve
ry work they do, undermine national security and citizens’ rights.
The Head of State said that “today we want to shorten the distance in time and everyone should be aware of this historic moment we are living”.
He stressed the need for every official in the state, regardless of their level of responsibility, to be an example of moderation, austerity and selflessness.
The President also stressed the need for self-reliance. This is because “a country is built with the hands of its children and the minds of its men and women, not through dependence on foreigners or recipes from circles that still yearn for tutelage and seek to be in the position of a pupil who is given lessons and marks according to the degree of his subordination to tutelage and the implementation of dictates”.
