Moroccan Auditors Probe Rural Commune for Mismanagement and Misuse of Public Funds

The Court of Auditors has just sent a team to inspect the accounts of the rural commune of Maaziz, in the Khemisset region. Several suspicions of mismanagement of public assets weigh on the president and the executives.

Al Akhbar specifies that a magistrate from the Court of Auditors and an inspector would have asked several questions to several executives of the rural commune of Maaziz, in the province of Khémisset, in the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaër region. And its accounts have started to be scrutinized in detail.

This inspection, according to the same source, rather concerns files on the management of careers dependent on the Commune, others on fuel consumption, and some contracts signed by the commune.

But in the lot, we also find the purchase by the commune of two tents, at a cost of 160,000 dirhams. While this commune does not even have an ambulance and accidents, when there are any, are difficult to manage and are done in a way that is very far from the minimum required standards.

In addition, the president of the commune would have canceled Ramadan aid (that of 2018) in order to be able to buy a vehicle, a service car, with taxpayer money, worth 240,000 dirhams. And still no ambulance.
