Morocco’s performance in the corruption index during the past year “remains unsatisfactory,” said The National Commission for Integrity and Prevention of Bribery.
The Kingdom recorded a decline in the 2020 corruption perception index, scoring 40 points out of 100, down by one point compared to 2019.
The US-based organization, the global coalition against corruption, links the decline to the lack of transparency requirements within the government’s exceptional measures amid the pandemic, according to the corruption perceptions index 2020 report.
The National Commission for Integrity and Prevention of corruption issued today its annual report, which underlines Morocco’s poor performance in the indicators of corruption in the executive authority, the legislative, and the judiciary ones.
In its reading of the results achieved by Morocco during the period from 2012 to 2020, the commission said that Morocco scored a negative performance on all indicators, with the exception of the judicial corruption index.
Although Moroccan authorities have executed a number of measures to limit corruptions’ crimes in the Kingdom, such as the green number set by the Public Prosecution Office for reporting bribery, the National Commission emphasizes the need to address the problem of reporting corruption’s crimes
The annual report of the Commission highlights the need to develop a diagnosis of corruption in Morocco, relying on technology, big data, and artificial intelligence to pave the way for citizens to submit their complaints and for authorities to investigate the suspects.
