Informed sources have revealed that a series of appointments, transfers, promotions, and retirements among walis, governors, and executives of the Moroccan Ministry of Interior are expected in the coming days. These changes are likely to be approved during an upcoming Council of Ministers meeting, signaling a long-awaited administrative reorganization.
These decisions will primarily affect territorial officials who have reached retirement age, those who have benefited from multiple service extensions, or those whose health conditions no longer allow them to continue their duties. It will also include officials who have held positions for more than seven years, as well as others who have been the subject of complaints related to urban planning and investment files.
Promotions, especially those related to the positions of secretaries-general, will be made according to reports prepared over several months by the “360 Committee,” led by Ghassan Kassab, who is responsible for walis’ affairs. This committee has already promoted several heads of internal affairs sections last August, who will soon be appointed as secretaries-general in certain prefectures and provinces in the north, south, and center of the country.
It has also been reported that the Ministry of Interior has recently transferred officials holding positions of circle chiefs and pachas to the central administration for unspecified reasons. Among them are a circle chief from the Chichaoua province and an urban pacha from the Laayoune province, who has been reassigned to the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region.
Furthermore, the upcoming changes will affect governors appointed since 2017, such as Noureddine Ouabou, governor of the Berrechid province, as well as interim governors like Aziz Dadas, currently heading the prefecture of Casablanca-Anfa districts. Some governors facing chronic illnesses will be retired after submitting medical files to the central authorities.
The new appointments will also affect the General Directorate of Territorial Communities, which has been led on an interim basis by Mohamed Fawzi, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Interior, for over two years, following the appointment of former director Khalid Safir as head of the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG).
It is important to note that last August, the Ministry of Interior conducted a large-scale transfer operation involving 592 officials, representing 23% of all territorial administration staff. This operation, based on a 360-degree evaluation, allowed for the promotion of 96 men and women in authority positions, while transferring some staff who had spent more than three years in the same prefecture or province, or who required relocation for health or social reasons.
