Abdelmajid Fassi Steps Down from Parliamentary Role
In a significant political development, Abdelmajid Fassi, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and a member of the Independence Party, has officially submitted his resignation from the first chamber of parliament. This announcement was made on Wednesday, July 15. Sources close to the matter suggest that his resignation is closely linked to his recent appointment to the National Electricity Regulatory Authority.
According to information provided to the news outlet "Achkayen," Fassi's resignation is part of a broader set of arrangements related to his new role within the National Electricity Regulatory Authority. This body is governed by legislation that mandates the formation of its council, comprising nine members representing various constitutional institutions. The law stipulates that three members are appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, three by the Speaker of the House of Councillors, and the remaining three members are designated by the Prime Minister.
The timing of this resignation is crucial as it aims to prevent any potential conflict of interest that could arise from holding both a parliamentary position and a seat on the National Electricity Regulatory Authority. The latter is recognized as an independent entity responsible for regulatory and oversight functions, making it incompatible to simultaneously serve in both roles under the provisions established by parliamentary membership legislation.
Efforts by "Achkayen" to reach out to Abdelmajid Fassi for further clarification have been initiated, emphasizing the importance of transparency and communication during this transition period.
