HIBAPRESS – Abdel Latif Baraka
Order No. 1810.26, issued by the Minister of Interior, opens the door to strengthening the intervention of governors and prefects in addressing the problem of accumulated debts owed to territorial communities, by activating coercive collection procedures, in a move aimed at overcoming the stagnation that characterizes the collection of a number of financial dues.
This approach, if effectively implemented, is expected to contribute to strengthening the financial resources of territorial communities, providing additional margins for financing development projects, and improving the quality of public services. However, achieving these goals remains linked to the ability of the concerned authorities to activate legal procedures, expedite the processing of pending files, and ensure the collection of dues in accordance with the rules in force.
The main challenge remains to translate these procedures into tangible results that are reflected in the management of local affairs, away from merely accumulating administrative decisions and procedures. Will the new order constitute a turning point in the collection of territorial community debts, or will overcoming existing imbalances remain contingent on the effectiveness of implementation and the sound management of collected resources?
