Morocco’s Interior Ministry has launched urgent investigations into irregularities surrounding the issuance of housing compliance certificates across several local authorities. The probes, beginning in the Casablanca-Settat and Rabat-Sla-Kenitra regions, aim to audit potential violations related to the granting of occupancy permits, particularly in suburban areas surrounding major cities. Sources indicate the investigations will review the processes and criteria used for issuing these certificates. The move follows concerns about potential breaches of regulations in the housing sector. The Ministry has directed regional governors and prefects to conduct thorough administrative reviews. The goal is to ensure compliance with building standards and proper authorization procedures for residential properties. Further details regarding specific findings are pending the completion of the investigations.
