Morocco tackles corruption as transparency ratings fall
2007-07-26
 [Transparency International] |
The number of corruption-related cases processed by Moroccan courts increased nearly 50% last year, Justice Minister Mohamed Bouzoubaa said Wednesday (July 25th). Moroccan courts handled 5,891 such cases in 2006, as compared to 3,948 the previous year, he said. The surge in prosecutions is part of a government programme to reduce corruption. According the NGO Transparency International, Morocco's corruption perception ranking has deteriorated in recent years dropping from 52nd position in 2002 to 79th in 2006.

We really must eradicate these rogue judges, because Morocco needs to progress towards a real democracy. Moreover, our young king is doing everything to eradicate them. Thus, for us, our role is to denounce all injustice in order to not fuel this scourge. We will have to account for complying with the corrupt in front of our Creator!!! So, let us think more about the afterlife. I swear to those who have been trampled down by the judicial system that the judges will have to account before God!!! And what a pleasure it will be to report a few good gestures about what they did, in this complicated case!!! Good luck to the unjust on earth in finding happiness in the afterlife, under God’s throne, where no one is corrupt and where we will enjoy happiness!!! See you soon
