Tunis, Oct. 31 (TAP)- "There is no question of giving up what belongs to the Tunisian people," said President of the Republic Kaïs Saïed as he made an unannounced visit on Wednesday evening to Henchir Chaâl and Bir Ali Ben Khalifa, governorate of Sfax, and the governorate of Kairouan.

"The fight against corruption will continue unabated," he added.

The second largest olive grove in the world, Henchir Chaâl extends over 5,187,24 hectares and employs 435 permanent staff and 385 casual workers.

The grove, a property of the state which is in charge of management, harvesting, monitoring and olive oil extraction, is experiencing some difficulties.

Kaïs Saïed met with citizens and listened to their concerns as part of these three visits, reads a Presidency press release.

Efforts are pursued relentlessly, he said, to meet the demands of citizens across Tunisia.

The Head of State then headed to the Aghlabid Basins in Kairouan where he took stock of the situation of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
