Tunisia-[Audio]Nabil hajji- A woman is good, a competent person is better

Speaking to Tunisie Numérque, Democratic current Nabil Hajji stressed the President of the Republic once blamed Hichem Mechichi for the lack of women in his government. Parity was accordingly anticipated to be respected in the new government, he added.

He emphasised that a woman should not be appointed to the post of prime minister just because she is a woman, she should also be competent particularly in the context of the economic difficulties that Tunisia is undergoing at the moment. Indeed, Tunisians expect far-reaching economic and fiscal reformations. Nevertheless Bouden does not appear to have any experience in the matter, he said.

He also stressed the significance of choosing the right members of the government, saying that Kais Saied should not be satisfied with appointing docile ministers who will only follow his orders.
