Morocco’s Interior Ministry Sanctions 20 Local Officials for Misconduct

Nearly 20 circle chiefs, caids and pashas have been sanctioned by the supervisory authority. According to Assabah, the reasons for these sanctions vary from one official to another. Their names will be communicated as soon as the list of sanctions is finalized. While six authority agents have received warnings, others may be sidelined, suspended from their duties, demoted or reprimanded.

According to the same daily, which cites a source from the ministry, this is not a settling of scores, as some people would have us believe, but rather an operation governed by the constitution. These sanctions are mainly aimed at rationalizing the human resources of the Ministry of the Interior and ensuring greater efficiency in the performance of the duties of the authority agents. It is part of the new policy of the Ministry of the Interior, based on serious work and change.
