Morocco’s King sacks ministers over project delay
Morocco\'s King Mohammed VI has dismissed several senior officials, including the Ministers of Education and Health, for their \"negligence in the exercise of responsibility\" that led to delay in the execution of developmental projects in the north-eastern city of Al Hoceima.
Rabat: Morocco's King Mohammed VI has dismissed several senior officials, including the Ministers of Education and Health, for their "negligence in the exercise of responsibility" that led to delay in the execution of developmental projects in the north-eastern city of Al Hoceima.
The sacking on Tuesday came after the King received the report on the Al Hoceima projects "Manarat Almotawassit" from the First president of the Court of Auditors.
The Court of Auditors' report said that its probe confirmed "several dysfunctions" recorded under the previous government in carrying out the projects. It also said that several ministerial departments and public institutions did not honour their commitments in the implementation of the projects and their explanations did not justify the delay in implementing the developmental projects, MAP reported.
The report noted great delay in launching the projects, and that many of them had not yet been launched.The King, "taking into account the degree of negligence in the exercise of responsibility", decided on a set of measures and sanctions against several ministers and senior officials.
The Ministers sacked are: Mohamed Hassad, Minister of National Education, former Minister of the Interior in the government of former head of government Abdelilah Benkirane; El Houssaine El Ouardi,
Minister of Health under the governments of Saad Eddine El Othmani and Abdelilah Benkirane; Mohamed Nabil Benabdellah, Minister of Housing under Saad Eddine El Othmani and Abdelilah Benkirane; Larbi Benckheikh, Secretary of State in charge of vocational training, who previously held the position of Director-General of the OFPPT.
