"The expected political reforms should meet the demands of Tunis," Saied was quoted as saying during a ministerial meeting by a statement released by the Tunisian presidency.

The Tunisian leader stressed that "people want to clean their country ... and that will only happen thanks to a fair justice as well as judges far from all suspicion", reports Xinhua news agency,

On September 29, he appointed Najla Bouden as the Prime Minister.
