Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch on Thursday called on all members of his cabinet and government sectors to intensify efforts and fully commit to the successful implementation of a new decree on alternative sentencing.
Speaking at the opening of a government council meeting, Akhannouch expressed gratitude to Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi for leading the coordination of the initiative, and extended thanks to the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, the Presidency of the Public Prosecution, and the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration.
“I assure you that the government will devote all necessary resources to support the rollout of this important reform,” Akhannouch said.
The decree discussed Thursday follows the earlier adoption of Law No. 43.22, which introduces alternative penalties and is set to take effect in August.
Akhannouch emphasized that the decree is part of Morocco’s broader judicial reform agenda, which he said enjoys the full support of King Mohammed VI. The monarch has consistently advocated for a modernized criminal justice policy that reflects legal developments and enhances procedural fairness.
The Prime Minister highlighted that the new alternative sentencing framework is designed to improve the penal system by promoting rehabilitation and social reintegration, while also addressing chronic prison overcrowding.
