The recruitment competition sparked a major controversy within the Ould Taima community in Taroudant province, creating a tense atmosphere between the components of the municipal council led by the assemblywoman, “Nadia Bouhdoud”, and the opposition team composed of Justice and Development.
In this context, the opposing team of the group requested the postponement of this match for the sake of transparency and equal opportunities, announcing in a press release that it was following with great concern and concern the match announced by the group’s board of directors on July 17, 2024, with the aim of employing 19 employees divided between four technicians specialized in civil engineering and 14 technicians, including eight IT technicians.
The Benkirane brothers believe that “if the group is experiencing a huge shortage of employees and executives in most of its interests, for reasons perhaps the most striking is the random arrangement of the board which led to emptying the group of its executives, which led to the transfer of a significant number of the best executives and technicians (architect, civil engineer, a doctor from the health service, a technician specialized in construction, a technician specialized in monitoring works, and two technicians from the works and plantations department), as well as internal transfers of employees from one department to another, without regard to the real needs of the services and departments within the administration, as well as references to retirement and certain deaths.
Al-Misbah team confirmed in its statement that the announced vacancies are considered a source of doubt and astonishment because they do not reflect the reality of the shortcomings experienced by the interests of the group described above, which strongly raises the question of the true meaning of the process, which arouses fear and suspicion among the candidate and public opinion in general, in light of the absence of the circumstances and reasons that directed and framed the management of the process and what preceded it, including the announced vacancies,
This, and the team added that recalling the policies of the Council that manage all the previous rights, which are dominated by nepotism, clientelism and the logic of partisan loyalties, the latest being the distribution of support to associations, which makes it ineligible to organize a competition that guarantees the right of the Moroccan citizen to access work outside the logic of rent and nepotism, it demands that the match be postponed pending a real diagnosis of the inadequacy of the management, the announcement of all vacant positions, and the provision of conditions of integrity and objectivity that guarantee equal opportunities between candidates and avoiding burdening the management budget with specializations of the group that it does not urgently need at the moment. The team itself also requested the intervention of the competent control. authorities.
