According to Neji Ben Kilani, a member of the National Council of Regions and Districts, several articles have no place in the 2026 Finance Bill (PLF).
In an interview held today, Tuesday, December 9, 2025, on the National Radio, Kilani emphasized that the article related to the regularization of situations does not fall within the scope of the finance law.
He stated that the finance law is not the sole determinant of the state's policies, adding that, according to the Constitution, it is the President of the Republic who establishes the general guidelines of the state.
He affirmed that the two legislative chambers, as deliberative bodies, can, through the deputies, make amendments to the finance law, but without encroaching on the prerogatives of another institution, in his words.
Regarding the controversial articles between the two chambers, Neji Ben Kilani indicated that the joint committee will make a decision. If no consensus version of the finance bill is found, the version of the People's Representatives Assembly will be adopted, in accordance with Decree No. 1.
It is worth noting that Oussama Sahnoun, the rapporteur of the joint committee, had confirmed today on National Radio that the committee is working on developing a consensus version of the 2026 finance bill.
