Tunisia’s President, Kais Saied, has sacked his finance minister and appointed a magistrate to the role.
The presidency announced on Facebook overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, alongside images of her taking the oath of office that Michket Slama Khaldi will take on the country’s finance portfolio.
The presidency gave no further details, nor did it mention outgoing minister Sihem Boughdiri Nemsia.
The new finance minister had headed a national commission tasked with recovering embezzled public funds.
