Recent reports circulating in Moroccan political and media circles have sparked widespread debate over allegations that some local council presidents are exploiting public resources and equipment for electoral purposes. This practice has been deemed a blatant violation of transparency and fair competition principles among political actors.
In response, the Governor of Sidi Ifni, Hassan Sedqi, issued an official letter to local council presidents, warning them against the misuse of municipal vehicles and equipment for political and electoral activities. This practice, he emphasized, contravenes existing laws, particularly Article 94 and subsequent provisions of Organic Law No. 113.14 governing local councils.
The governor stressed that such actions constitute an abuse of public funds and resources for narrow political interests, potentially undermining the integrity of the electoral process and violating the principle of equal opportunity. He called for strict adherence to legal regulations regarding the use of municipal assets and urged the implementation of firm measures to prevent their misuse outside the scope of public service.
These developments come amid broader discussions on electoral integrity in Morocco, with media reports and citizen testimonies alleging the suspicious distribution of social aid with apparent electoral motives. This raises concerns about the extent to which legal and ethical guidelines governing the electoral process are being respected.
The controversy highlights the pressing need for stricter oversight mechanisms on the actions of local officials and greater transparency in public administration to ensure fair political competition and uphold the principle of equal opportunity for all parties.
