Ministers from the outgoing government of Saad Eddine El Othmani are set to receive compensation related to the end of their mandate, amounting to over MAD10 million.
In accordance with Dahir No. 1-74-331 of April 23, 1975, members of government receive special compensation upon the end of their mandate, equivalent to ten months’ salary.
The head of government will, accordingly, end his mandate with a severance cheque of MAD700,000, while the other ministers will receive MAD580,000 each.
In addition to the severance benefits, the ministers will also benefit from permanent retirement, the net value of which surpasses MAD30,000 a month, while the head of government will benefit from MAD60,000 a month.
Certain ministers’ retirement will be adjusted if they practice other professions.
The issue of ministers’ retirement has repeatedly been the subject of public debate in Morocco, as many think holding government office should not be an opportunity for large compensation.
Outgoing head of government El Othmani previously revealed that he had tried to end ministers’ retirement, but was unable to do so, stating “it is not in my hands.”
