The extraordinary session of the Fes City Council, held on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, witnessed significant tension as several council members accused the council president of obstructing their access to information regarding ongoing projects.
The councilors expressed frustration over the lack of transparency, stating that they are not being provided with the necessary details to monitor the progress of these projects, which hampers their ability to carry out their oversight and management duties effectively.
The council members criticized the absence of effective communication channels that would allow them to stay informed about the current projects, arguing that this situation is detrimental to the city’s interests and its residents.
They called for improved coordination and the activation of the right to access information, which they emphasized as a fundamental right that ensures transparency in municipal governance and contributes to enhancing performance and achieving local development.
This criticism sparked a broader discussion on the urgent need to strengthen communication mechanisms between the council president and other members.
Ensuring they are continuously informed about project updates and developments would foster trust within the council, leading to more informed decision-making that benefits the city’s residents and supports its growth.
