President Kais Saied visited the Beja Sugar Factory on Tuesday and inspected the status of the fleet and confiscated items in the two municipal warehouses of Beja and Al Maaqoula where cars, motorcycles and other confiscated items have been parked for up to two decades, to the point that the two warehouses cannot accommodate more cars and machinery.

These confiscated objects have also lost their value, the first delegate in charge of the Beja governorate, Sabeur Benbli, told the President of the Republic.

The Head of State considered that these confiscated goods and the neglected fleet in Beja and dozens of warehouses in the Republic are considered “a wasted and neglected national wealth and a loss for the national community as a result of the lack of simplification of legislation, the slow adjudication of cases, the work of ministries individually in a single country and the lack of will,” he said.

He stressed the need for the legislation to serve the national community and not be an obstacle to the prop
er management of wealth, saying that “it is necessary to revise the customs code and suggested that “this wealth be exploited and directed to the steel plant and well disposed of, especially that its value is large and estimated in millions”.

He also stressed that Tunisia has a lot of wealth and it is enough to have the will and the legal texts to use them in the service of the national interest so that the national wealth returns to the Tunisian people.

The President of the Republic considered that the neglect of the fleet of municipal warehouses “is deliberate, and it is necessary to take responsibility, support control mechanisms and get Tunisia out of the situation of inflation of legislation that are tailor-made to abandon public facilities such as the sugar factory in Beja.

In his dialogue with the workers at the Beja sugar factory, Saied stressed that he would work to make the company better than it was before and that it was a national gain that would not be squandered.

It should be noted that the
Beja Sugar Company, founded in 1961, has experienced several difficulties and crises in the last decade, due to the deterioration of its equipment, its financial situation, the accumulation of debts and frequent production interruptions, and the fire that broke out in its warehouses in 2017, which led to significant losses and aggravated its financial situation.
