ABSTRACT
On 27 January 2014, Tunisia undertook a major reform of its political system when the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) adopted a new constitution. The new parliament was given a central role in the system of governance established by the constitution. Specifically, Parliament was to be responsible for ensuring that the constitutional framework would be fully implemented. The People's Representative Assembly (PRA) was created according to the constitution of 27 January 2014 and was granted powers that are broader than those that were approved under Tunisia's 1959 constitution. The departments of the PRA administration are organized into units, directorates, general directorates and offices. Parliamentary organization lacks in some part of it clarity and legibility as well as effective interdepartmental coordination. In 2019, the frightening spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the Tunisian parliament which carefully respected the rules laid down by the government and especially the Ministry of Health.
