On Monday, January 6, 2025, the Regional Secretariat of the Popular Movement Party issued a strongly-worded statement addressing the worsening state of local governance in the Zouagha district of Fez. The statement highlighted the unilateral management style of the council president and his frequent absences, which have hindered the delivery of adequate services to the residents. It also criticized the lack of regular meetings by the managing council and the failure to meet the legal quorum in its permanent committee sessions, which has directly contributed to the deterioration of overall conditions.
The statement shed light on the consequences of this mismanagement, including widespread darkness in several neighborhoods due to public lighting issues, neglect of public park maintenance, and an escalating waste management crisis that has caused significant concern among residents.
The party’s secretariat pointed out that it had previously sent numerous warnings to the council president and supervisory authorities about these irregularities but received no response. The statement also condemned the cancellation of the council’s regular January 2025 session, which saw the absence of 20 members, describing the situation as a reflection of a lack of seriousness and responsibility.
The statement called for a comprehensive investigation to hold accountable anyone proven negligent in their duties. It also urged for a review of all public contracts signed in the past three years, raising concerns over the repeated contracting with only two service providers, which it deemed a lack of diversity and transparency.
Furthermore, the party demanded an independent investigation into allegations made by the council president accusing certain members of blackmail, urging authorities to uncover the truth and ensure justice.
In conclusion, the Regional Secretariat expressed its firm rejection of the current state of governance in Zouagha. It emphasized the urgent need for corrective action to address the pressing needs of the residents, who continue to suffer under these challenging circumstances.
