Tunisia’s President Kais Saied dismissed Energy Minister Fatma Thabet this Tuesday, amid growing controversy over renewable energy projects set to be voted on in parliament.
Saied said he had appointed Housing and Infrastructure Minister Salah Eddine Zouari to temporarily oversee the Ministry.
No detailed explanation was provided for the decision.
The move comes as Saied’s government seeks to pass draft laws on renewable energy, which will be put to a vote in parliament later on Tuesday.
