Minister of Justice Calls for Strict Adherence to Professional Secrecy
In a decisive move to uphold the integrity of the legal system, Abdelatif Wahbi, the Minister of Justice, has issued a stern directive to regional officials and heads of the clerical staff and public prosecution across all courts in the kingdom. This directive strongly urges justice sector employees to maintain strict confidentiality regarding professional secrets, emphasizing their legal obligation to do so. The document explicitly prohibits any unauthorized leaking, photographing, or sharing of documents, records, and files with third parties through illegal means, as such actions constitute a blatant breach of professional secrecy and a disregard for job responsibilities.
The directive clarifies the critical distinction between upholding professional confidentiality and the public's right to access information. It is grounded in the provisions of public service regulations, criminal law, and the statutory framework governing clerical staff. The Minister calls for the broad dissemination of this directive among employees and insists on the implementation of disciplinary procedures and legal actions against anyone found in violation of these professional obligations and legal integrity. The emphasis on maintaining confidentiality within the judicial process is crucial not only for the protection of sensitive information but also for preserving public trust in the justice system.
