Transparency Maroc has publicly called on Fouzi Lekjaa, Minister Delegate in charge of the Budget, to provide detailed accounts of how 280 billion dirhams allocated to support household purchasing power have been spent. The anti-corruption NGO is seeking transparency on the distribution and impact of these funds, which represent a significant portion of Morocco's public spending.
The organization's request comes amid growing public concern over the effectiveness of government subsidies and direct aid programs. Transparency Maroc has asked for a breakdown of the beneficiaries, the criteria used for allocation, and the measurable outcomes of the spending.
Fouzi Lekjaa, who also serves as president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, has not yet issued a public response to the NGO's demands. The Ministry of Budget has previously stated that social support programs are subject to regular audits and oversight.
The call for transparency highlights ongoing debates in Morocco about fiscal accountability and the need for robust mechanisms to ensure public funds reach intended recipients. Transparency Maroc has a history of advocating for greater government openness and anti-corruption measures.
