Corruption Allegations Plague Morocco’s Human Development Initiative in Rabat Region

Some officials in charge of managing the projects of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH) are accused of patronage and corruption. Several people accuse the head of the division of a prefecture in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, who would have the habit of entrusting the contracts to the same entrepreneurs and consulting firms.
This mismanagement is spreading its tentacles in several wilayas and prefectures. Complaints against certain heads of the social action division are so frequent that the general inspectorate of territorial administration has decided to carry out checks in these hotbeds of corruption. The first descent will certainly be for one of the prefectures of the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region where the head of the social action division is sadly distinguished by corruption, reports Assabah.
The contracts are entrusted to the same entrepreneurs who are in reality only his relatives and the children of the prefecture officials. Worse still, he entrusts the management of social protection establishments at the provincial level to his friends, even if the latter do not have the required skills.
Civil society actors call on the supervisory authority to go beyond inspecting the documents to put these fraudsters and all those who are enriching themselves at the expense of the real objectives of the INDH out of harm’s way. Wali Mohamed Dardouri, in charge of the national coordination of the INDH, according to some, must review the entire management and control system of this national project, in order to put an end to the mismanagement, the rampant corruption that has lasted too long, specifies the same source.
