Morocco’s Interior Ministry is preparing disciplinary action against local officials—including chiefs and elders—following investigations into the proliferation of unlicensed wells. Reports by the General Inspectorate of Territorial Administration revealed these officials allegedly falsified reports, enabling the unauthorized drilling of water wells across several regions, including Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kenitra, and Marrakech-Safi. The illicit drilling raises concerns about water resource management and potential environmental damage. The investigations confirm the involvement of authority figures in deliberately misleading documentation. Disciplinary measures will be implemented once the validation process of the investigative reports is complete. This scandal highlights potential corruption and negligence within local governance structures regarding water regulation. The findings were first reported by Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
