ICPC Chairman, Abdessalam Aboudrar
Combating corruption is among the main challenges facing Moroccan society in its aspiration for more openness and transparency, says the President of the Moroccan anti-corruption authority, ICPC, Abdesslam Aboudrar.
In an interview with MAP on the occasion of National Anti-corruption Day celebrated on Tuesday, Aboudrar highlighted the steadfast efforts undertaken in the kingdom to fight corruption since the creation of the ICPC in 2007.
Aboudrar pointed to a range of measures taken to curb corruption, including the law protecting testimonies and whistle-blowers, the measures regulating the relationship between citizens and the administration and the national strategy to combat corruption.
The main task of the ICPC is to prevent corruption through implementing a policy that incorporates raising awareness in co-operation with the administration and other watchdog organizations at the national and international levels, Aboudrar said.
Aboudrar noted that the National Authority for Probity, which will replace the ICPC by virtue of the 2011 Constitution, will have self-referral and pre-judicial investigation prerogatives and will be independent vis-a-vis other powers.
