The decree also granted security for life, honor, and reputation. It then introduced a severe law against bribery, stating, "Indeed, the greatest cause of the king's displeasure and what is abhorred by law..."

This is the picture of the internal situation in the state administration as it appears from a royal decree. Security is absent, and the lack of justice threatens individuals and the state alike, whether in collecting taxes from them or in conscripting them. The administration is corrupt due to the spread of bribery. The decree clarified the cause and identified the disease, mentioning its reasons, and showed a strong desire for reform.

However, reform was not achieved, as the Sultan was preoccupied with the Russian campaign (?) from completing these reforms.

This begins with the lines of history of four Sultans who agreed on this. The picture presented dealt with the head, and it is completed by presenting the condition of the provinces and the people.

The condition of the provinces

The situation was also clear in the provinces where governors were appointed. Most of them reached their positions through bribery, thus burdening the people for what they paid. Most of them stayed in one province for one year, then moved to another province due to the Sultan's fear of their movements and their independence. A year is not enough time for the governor to become familiar with everything, to draw up a plan for necessary reform, and to implement it, assuming the governor is among the few who are capable.

The governorship of Tripoli of the West was held successively for one year, ending the reign of the Karamanlis, and the year of Italy's attack on the province.
