On September 29, Tunisian President Kais Saied chaired a cabinet meeting at the Carthage Palace to discuss revisions to several decrees. The meeting focused on a range of issues related to the functioning of public services. According to a statement released by the Presidency, the meeting reviewed several draft decrees. These included revisions to laws related to cybercrime, electoral regulations, and municipal councils.
One of the key draft decrees discussed was the revision of Decree 54 of 2022, which relates to combating cybercrime. This decree was initially issued on September 13, 2022. The proposed revisions aim to update the country's cybercrime laws to address emerging challenges. No further details on the proposed changes were provided.
In addition to Decree 54, the cabinet also discussed revisions to Decree 13 of 2022. This decree concerns the judicial settlement and the use and completion of its proceeds. Furthermore, the meeting reviewed proposed changes to certain provisions of the Fundamental Law No. 23 of 2012. This law established the Independent High Authority for Elections.
