Corruption is a serious problem in Morocco, especially in managing public development projects. The National Authority for the Protection of Public Assets and Transparency (INPBPTM) reported misuse of public money in El Jadida province. Between 2019 and 2022, millions of dollars meant for social projects were either spent wrongly or were missing. Some projects received funds without proper approval, and fake invoices were found. Public money was even used for personal expenses. Many projects remain unfinished because of missing land or technical studies. Some organizations that got money did not follow the law, and some projects only existed on paper. The watchdog has asked the courts to investigate and punish those responsible. This case shows that Morocco still faces big challenges in stopping corruption and making sure public money is used properly to help people. It also raises concerns about weak oversight and poor control systems in public spending.
Pray for the authorities to take immediate action to recover the misappropriated funds and punish the perpetrators responsible. Pray for improved management of public assets in Morocco (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 22:23).
Pray for reforms and breakthroughs in the Moroccan Governance. Pray for the truth, transparency, and justice to uproot corruption at every level of government in the country (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy 16:19).
