Morocco’s Ministry of Interior has launched urgent administrative investigations into several local councils following reports of serious irregularities in the management of administrative permits. The investigations, spanning the Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kenitra, and Fes-Meknes regions, were prompted by complaints and inspection reports. Allegations center on significant violations within local governance related to licensing procedures. Consequently, some investment projects have been cancelled as a result of these findings. Regional authorities have been instructed to conduct swift inquiries into the implicated council heads. The investigations aim to address shortcomings in administrative policing and ensure proper governance. Further details regarding the specific nature of the violations are currently under investigation.
