Mohamed VI nombra a los miembros de la Comisión Anticorrupción de Marruecos
Morocco's King Mohammed VI has appointed the members of the National Commission for the Prevention and Fight against Corruption. This body, composed of 12 members plus the president, aims to "implement policies that seek to mitigate the challenges of corruption", according to a royal communiqué.
These measures include the implementation of anti-corruption policies, as well as "the consolidation of the principles of good governance, the culture of public utility and the values of responsible citizenship".
These appointments, according to the note, "complete the composition of the national institution and enable it to carry out its mandated tasks". The anti-corruption commission includes Abdeslam Imani, Nadia Annouw, Douni Ben Abbas Taarij and Abdessamad Saddouk.
Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch has also appointed Ghita Lahloum, Naima Benwakrim, Rachid Lamoudar and Abdelmounim Mouhsini, reports Morocco World News.
On the other hand, the president of the Moroccan House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi El Alami, and the president of the Chamber of Councillors, Naam Miyara, appointed Amina Figuigui, Noureddine Moaddib, Rabha Zedgui and Abdelkhalek Chmmachi, respectively, adds the Moroccan media.
Finally, King Mohammed VI appointed Ahmed Laamouri as secretary general of the commission and Bachir Rachdi as president.
As Al-Arab recalls, last year the Moroccan parliament approved a new draft law for the National Commission for Integrity, Prevention and Fight against Corruption, giving it numerous powers that allow it to play an important role in the fight against corruption.
This body can explore all suspicious cases that are reported, as well as request other institutions to investigate further or join investigations. The commission can also request databases, information or other data that may be related to the cases.
Although Morocco has put in place several mechanisms to curb corruption, its position in Transparency International's rankings has not improved significantly. In 2021, the kingdom ranked 87th out of 180 in the Corruption Perceptions Index, one point lower than in 2020. The task of this commission will be to combat this scourge, which, as in other countries, hinders Morocco's development.
