In an address during the transfer of power, Boudjemaa expressed gratitude to the president of the Republic, the chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, for "the precious confidence" placed in him, by appointing him minister of Justice with all that this implies in terms of burdens and objectives to be achieved at this crucial stage for our country.

The minister said the Justice sector was now "one of the cornerstones of the building of new Algeria," stressing its importance in meeting the expectations of Algerian citizens.
