HIBAPRESS – Rabat
On Wednesday morning, a session of the Justice, Legislation, Human Rights, and Freedoms Committee was held in the House of Representatives, attended by the Minister of Justice, Abdelatif Wahbi, to discuss the sub-budget project for the Ministry of Justice for the fiscal year 2026.
The session addressed a number of issues related to judicial affairs, foremost among them the issue of combating corruption and transparency in the management of the sector, which sparked a heated debate between the minister and a number of parliamentarians. During his intervention, Abdelatif Wahbi expressed his dismay at the spread of accusatory rhetoric without evidence or accurate data, saying in a critical tone: "Whoever wakes up in the morning and sits in the cafe starts accusing people of corruption". He explained that this type of free accusations damages the image of justice and undermines citizens' confidence in institutions, considering that combating corruption is a responsibility that requires concrete data and legal procedures, not just talk in the public space.
