Chairman of the Committee for Organization and Development of Administration, Digitization, Governance, and Anti-Corruption MP Ridha Dalaei, recently examined the Committee’s engagement with representatives from the Prime Minister’s Office concerning administrative reforms in the public sector. He shed light with Tunisie Numérqiue on several initiatives, including a noteworthy proposal to execute a unified share system in public service.
Dalaei underscored that the session started with a focus on reforms suggested within the Public Procurement Law. There’s a growing consensus for a comprehensive overhaul of this legislation, especially because it’s seen as a barrier to executing public projects efficiently.
He furthermore touched upon the challenges of public employment reform, a process started in 2016 but hampered by various factors, including frequent governmental changes. Regardless, post-July 25, there has been more freedom for the administration to pursue this project, seeking to streamline administrative processes.
A critical point of discussion was the adoption of a single share system, with the MP underscoring the government’s intent to create work incentives comparable to those available to public service employees.
The conversation also ventured into administrative organization, especially the management of academic certificates. There’s a movement towards cooperating with the Ministries of Education, Training and Employment, Higher Education, and Scientific Research to overhaul this system. The purpose is to set a new order within six months that eliminates the necessity for signature verification on academic certificates to counter forgery and enhance transparency. He expects that the new system will be introduced shortly, as preparations are nearing completion.
