The rule of law can mean different things because it is an ambiguous term. This is the first index and it is believed to be the legal principle which the law must govern a certain country as opposed by being governed by the arbitrary decisions of a person’s government official(Ferguson 81). Tunisia has a rich legal system to cater for the rule of law. They are among the first countries to have a constitution which governs them. Due to this, many in this country have ended up following constitution as various amendments have been factored in to favour every citizen. (Bingham 10).
The second index is corruption. More than forty professionals gathered where they had training in Tunis, the banks, the judges, the lawyers and the journalists. According to their many backgrounds, these participants talked about effective ways of detecting and tackling the monster called corruption that is still continuing up to now (Ferguson 67). When we talk about fighting against corruption in Tunisia they had training on the same. On the year 2015, June there were many representatives who came from a wide range of the Tunisia stakeholder agencies with also Anti- corruption Agency, the finance ministry, the high commission for the Administrative and the financial control, which took part in CEELIs(Bingham 23).
Concerning the rule of lawyers which is the third index, we find that lawyers are supposed to be the ones channelling political reforms in any given country. This has been well shown by China's lawyers who have really fought for this(Ferguson, 107) In contrast to this, we have seen a situation where president uses judiciary together with lawyers to fight those who are opposing his government. The rule of lawyers has been instead used to protect unfair dealings unlike what they should be doing in this nation(Olson 95).
In legal reforms which is our last index and which are experienced all over the world due to failing institutions which are supposed to enforce law and order, we find many countries including the United States having these reforms. This reforms are meant to bring change in the regulatory efficiency where we have business freedom, labour freedom and monetary freedom(Ferguson 103). Due to lack of this reforms in Tunisia, we see poor results where business freedom is rated as -3.7, with labour freedom having a rating of +1.3 and monetary freedom having -5.5 rating. This indicates the need for Tunisia to have in place the legal reforms for the sake of their country(Robert and Ullen 72).
