Morocco’s Audit Court Chief Slams Lawmakers for Ignoring Key Reports

Questioned about the fate of his reports, particularly the report on "the evaluation of the Slum-free City program, between 2008 and 2018", the President of the Court of Auditors became outraged. Driss Jettou passed the ball to the parliamentarians, who had long snubbed his studies. According to him, the Court of Auditors is fulfilling its mission perfectly, producing serious reports sent to the institutions concerned.

In this regard, Driss Jettou recalled that 40 to 50 studies were made public each year by his institution, and that these eminently relevant reports for the national economy were mostly underestimated and are languishing in the drawers.

For the daily Assabah, the Court of Auditors did not fail to point out the main dysfunctions and called, among other things, for the strengthening of control mechanisms and the popularization of the offer of public aid against unhealthy housing, so as not to mislead the beneficiaries.

The president also established a direct correlation between the proliferation of slums and the phenomena of rural exodus, against the backdrop of the absence of a territorial development strategy.
