Morocco’s Interior Ministry Faces Executive Shortage Amid Administrative Shake-up

The Ministry of the Interior finds itself in a real dilemma due to the exhaustion of its senior executives.

Indeed, this department is currently having difficulty finding qualified executives to ensure the succession of walis and directors in the central administration, called upon to take on high-level positions within the state administrations or about to retire, notes the daily Assabah.

The newspaper, which makes known the difficulty of finding today authority agents with the stature of a Director of Central Services, mentions, in particular, the cases of Khalid Safir, Wali Director of Territorial Collectivities, Samir Mohamed Tazi, Wali Director General of the FEC, and Mohamed Derdouri, Wali Coordinator General of the INDH, who are rumored to be leaving to take up other positions in the ranks of the State.

The irony is that some Interior executives, particularly the engineers from the Directorate of Information Systems, could not resist the siren song of emigration, and have opted for Canada in particular.

According to the daily, to manage these difficulties, the Ministry must review the process of promoting its executives and mitigate the effects of the appointment of executives from outside to the positions of walis and governors.

Moreover, it is urgent, according to the newspaper, to establish a new system of career management and, more generally, of human resources, based on continuous monitoring and control of the action of the authority agents.
