Rachid Talbi Alami, Speaker of the House of Representatives, decided to refer the issue of constitutional violation raised by MP Rime Chabat of the Democratic Forces Party) during Monday’s monthly session to the Ethics Committee for review.
Chabbat had criticized the state of urban transport buses in Fez, which she deemed outdated and unsafe, questioning how such conditions would accommodate tourists. She likened the buses to the government’s unfulfilled election promises.
Talbi Alami, responding to Chabbat’s remarks, stated that urban transport falls under the jurisdiction of local governments, not the central government, as per Articles 131 and 141 of the Constitution.
He said that the role of the House of Representatives is to respect constitutional limits and avoid overstepping the responsibilities of other institutions.
Mustapha Ibrahimi, from the Justice and Development Party, had strayed off-topic by discussing previous government decrees unrelated to the session’s agenda.
