Allegations of Conflict of Interest and Misuse of Public Property Involving Officials in Moulay Yacoub Commune

Recent developments in the Moulay Yacoub Commune have raised concerns regarding the management of communal properties, with allegations of conflicts of interest and unauthorized use of public assets by local officials.

According to available information, the First Vice President of the Moulay Yacoub Commune, Mr. Youssef Baba, is overseeing a case involving the legal occupation of a shop and a residence owned by the commune. This case also includes a draft decision mandating the eviction of a commercially and residentially used property being occupied without legal authorization, as well as the eviction of another commercial property registered under the name of a commune councilor.

Correspondence indicates delays in finalizing a draft decision concerning the eviction of a privately owned communal property and a commercial unit within a commercial complex, in addition to the eviction of a shop registered under a councilor’s name. There are also reports of unauthorized occupation of a villa belonging to the commune, necessitating legal and administrative actions to protect communal assets.

These developments emphasize the application of Article 65 of Organic Law No. 113.14, which mandates issuing warnings to officials exploiting communal properties without legal authorization and refers the matter to the council for necessary legal actions if unaddressed. The same article protects communal properties from unauthorized use and prohibits any exemptions from fees without council approval.

Sources suggest that the case has been referred to the council for necessary legal actions to halt the unauthorized situation, including the eviction of the aforementioned shop and the villa being used without legal authorization. This measure aims to safeguard communal assets and ensure legal compliance.

In related matters, certain documents and information available within the commune’s services pertain to personal records of some beneficiaries of communal properties.

Correspondence recommends notifying the involved elected officials to expedite the resolution of these cases and verify the application of laws regarding the use of communal properties, emphasizing the need to take all necessary measures to protect these assets and preserve public funds.

These developments underscore the importance of transparency and governance in managing communal properties and enforcing the laws regulating them to ensure optimal use of these assets in the public interest of the commune.
