According to informed sources, the newspaper "Hiba Press" reports that significant irregularities in urban planning oversight have led to the dismissal of the leader of the Agouatim district along with two local officials. This decision was issued by the Ministry of Interior due to reports highlighting a surge in unauthorized construction within the jurisdiction of the district.
The sources indicate that the decision followed a recent field visit by an inspection committee from the Marrakech-Safi region, which uncovered a series of violations related to urban planning. Among these were the construction of buildings without obtaining the necessary legal permits, as well as noted breaches in monitoring construction sites.
Furthermore, the same sources confirmed that the compliance reports submitted to the relevant authorities indicated signs of negligence in tracking urban planning violations and a failure to take appropriate legal action in a timely manner. This situation prompted the swift decision to relieve the responsible officials of their duties.
The impact of the region's governor, Khalid Lahbil, was evident as he addressed numerous files, particularly those related to urban planning, not overlooking the ongoing preparation and expansion of the road network within the city. The governor is actively working to bring several projects to fruition and accelerate development in the region, relying on a distinctive work plan that has significantly benefitted the city and the entire region.
Negligence in monitoring unauthorized construction cannot be tolerated as it poses a threat to the safety of the city and its residents. Field visits reveal that the situation is out of control, with buildings without permits jeopardizing public safety. Development and expansion projects must proceed without corruption, and the public needs to see that the law is applied uniformly to everyone. Reports that reach higher authorities are crucial for regulating these matters, as unmonitored urban development hinders the proper growth of the city.
The governor has made substantial efforts; however, the prevailing chaos suggests otherwise. The inspection committee has done its job, uncovering significant irregularities. This dismissal was necessary to hold individuals accountable for the rampant unauthorized construction and sends a powerful message to all local officials. Those who do not uphold their responsibilities must face stringent accountability.
