A joint media point was organized at the parliament on the occasion held on Friday, attended by President of the National Anti-Corruption Authority (INLUCC) Chawki Tabib and the Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi.

Tabib called for hastening the election of INLUCC board members in accordance with Article 130 of the Tunisian Constitution.

"The involvement of politicians in the fight against corruption cannot be reinforced without cooperation between parliament and government in this national strategy," said Tabib.

The INLUCC president asserted that 70 percent of the problems facing the north African country were related to lack of governance and spread of corruption beyond institutions' ability.
