Interior Ministry probes local public procurement corruption

The Interior Ministry is investigating alleged corruption in local public procurement, targeting a well-connected network suspected of irregularities. The probe, led by Inspector General Mohamed Fawzi, aims to curb questionable practices and signals a strong stance against corruption and public fund waste. Suspicion surrounds the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, with a prominent study office accused of monopolizing lucrative contracts. This investigation follows public outcry and protests over alleged favoritism and inflated contract prices, with some projects suspended pending clarification.
