Is the Governor of Kenitra Intervening to Stop the Chaos of Misusing Municipal Vehicles?
Kenitra Office/
The municipal vehicles in the Kenitra region have, in a scene that raises many questions, become tools for personal errands and family transportation, far removed from the administrative tasks for which they were designated.
Local sources revealed that many municipal vehicles are roaming the streets of the city and its outskirts outside official working hours, often carrying family members of local officials or personal belongings. They are left parked for hours in front of cafes and recreational facilities, without any oversight or accountability.
Field data confirmed that this phenomenon causes significant financial losses to municipalities due to fuel depletion and high maintenance costs, at a time when these municipalities are suffering from severe budget shortfalls, negatively impacting the quality of services provided to citizens.
Community activists in Kenitra are calling for immediate intervention from the regional governor to put an end to this blatant misuse of public funds, urging strict oversight measures. These include equipping vehicles with electronic tracking systems and linking their use to specific, clear tasks, with administrative penalties imposed for any violations.
Conversely, local observers believe that the rise of such behaviors is due to a lack of internal oversight within municipalities and the absence of a strong legal deterrent, alongside an unspoken complicity that allows some elected officials and employees to manage state assets as they wish.
Over the past few days, several voices have been raised demanding that regional authorities launch field investigations into the management and use of municipal vehicles.
