Rabat – New government is called on to put an end to the plague of corruption and satisfy the robust expectations of the Moroccan people, said on Tuesday Ahmed Oulbaz, member of the political bureau of the opposition party the Constitutional Union (UC).
HM King Mohammed VI appointed, on Tuesday in the Royal Palace in Rabat, the new cabinet. Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane said his government is driven on by a real will to undertake reforms.
The majority includes three parties which “had already participated, for three mandates, in managing the public things, which means that they assume some responsibility,” Oulbaz told Morocco’s MAP news agency, after the appointment of the new cabinet.
The government should give priority to corruption issues, a task which needs both “budget and political will,” he added.
Benkirane’s Justice and Development Party won Morocco’s parliamentary polls of November 25 with 107 seats in the 395-seat House of Representatives, while the UC took 23 benches to come at the seventh position. The UC then decided to join opposition.
