Falsified medical certificates.. Another aspect of the corruption of the Tunisian Ennahdha movement
Former Tunisian Minister of Education and political activist Naji Jalloul has revealed that two doctors, one from Ennahda and the other from Nidaa Tounes, are forging medical certificates.
In the program 90/7, presented by Elias Al-Gharbi on the channel “Attessia TV”, Jalloul said that they made 800 or 1000 falsified medical certificates.
He said he witnessed it and filed the matter with the judiciary for review. He said the number of medical certificates in the education sector is not higher than in other sectors.
Falsification of scientific evidence
“A few weeks ago, 16 people from Kasserine governorate, central Tunisia, were involved in forging scientific certificates in order to obtain jobs in a number of municipalities.” The public prosecutor’s office in the first instance authorized minors to be retained after the charges of forgery were proven against them.
This came less than two months after the decision to imprison other employees who were working with forged school certificates, which brought to the fore once again the debate about the fact that many people have obtained governmental jobs in the education, financial, health and other sectors through the forging of various scientific certificates over the past ten years.
Ibrahim al-Missawi, president of the Association to Combat Corruption, said the issue of false certificates is a heavy corruption case that was caused by partisanship based on political affiliation and the inheritance of positions in a number of state institutions and ministries.
Ennahdha’s relationship with corruption
Al-Missawi confirmed that corruption related to scientific certificates emerged with the announcement of the agreement between the late President Beji Caid Essebsi and the President of the Ennahdha Movement, Rached Ghannouchi, on the social peace system, the costs of which in the last decade were high for the Tunisian state.
He said the government’s alignment with the Brotherhood’s Ennahdha Movement and the purchase of the social peace system cost the state thousands of suspicious appointments through forged certificates issued by the ministries of finance, health and education, the Diwaniyah Foundation and public banks. He considered that all attempts to uncover corruption files in the public service in recent years had stopped, as had the breakdown of investigations, and was the object of conflict between the corrupt system and anti-corruption efforts.
The head of the Association to Combat Corruption added that the number of cases of fraud of scientific certificates that were referred to the judiciary was very small, and the matter was more “brazen” in the black decade with the rule of the Ennahdha Movement, which contributed to the bankruptcy of the public office and flooding it with the secondment of employees, the number of which passed from about 217 thousand employees in the public sector to 800 thousand in a few years, which contributed to the inability of institutions to perform their duties and bankruptcy.
