Akhannouch government faces transparency concerns over conflict of interest stances before elections
The article discusses the positions of Moroccan political parties regarding anti-corruption measures and conflicts of interest in the context of the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026. The Moroccan Association for Combating Corruption (Transparency Morocco) sent a letter to the parties, asking them to clarify their stances on mechanisms for regulating conflicts of interest, criminalizing illegal enrichment, and provisions related to criminal procedures, particularly Articles 3 and 7 of Law No. 03.23. The initiative comes amid ongoing criticism of Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch's government over the mingling of economic interests with official responsibilities, most notably in government contracts such as the procurement of medicines and the development of a water desalination plant in Casablanca, where suspicions of conflicts of interest have raised concerns about the government's credibility. The campaign aims to compel parties to provide clear commitments before the elections to promote transparency and fight corruption, by publicly sharing their positions with the public and supporting civic debate on these issues.
