Tunisia President Wants Graft Suspects Travel Ban Lifted
[An Nahar] President Moncef Marzouki on Saturday said a travel ban on Tunisians suspected of corruption must be lifted to help shore up the ailing economy and bolster national reconciliation after the 2011 uprising.

"We must strive to remove immediately these restrictions in order to set up a mechanism of reconciliation," Marzouki said of a ban that affects an estimated 0.4 percent of the country's businessmen.

"Total transparency is needed to achieve (national) reconciliation in order to revive the economy and establish justice," he said.
"We need more graft!"
Marzouki was speaking at a conference organised by the Tunisian employers union UTICA on ways of reviving the economy amid ongoing political instability and social unrest.

UTICA has repeatedly demanded that the authorities publish a list of businessmen accused of corruption, amid press reports that between 400 and 2,000 people are suspected of wrongdoing.
