Rabat, Morocco (TMT)- On the sidelines of the 17th anniversary of the throne day, celebrated yesterday in Morocco, King Mohammed VI called upon all Moroccans to staunchly fight corruption, stressing that the Moroccan “society, with all its components, has to fight corruption by rejecting it, publicly exposing those who are involved in it,” among others.
“Corruption is not inevitable and has never been part of Moroccan nature. However, it has become so commonplace that society considers it normal,” King Mohammed VI said in his throne day speech.
“No one can fight corruption alone, be it an individual, a political party or an association. Furthermore, no one has the right to combat corruption or take the law into his own hands,” King Mohammed went on further to stress.
“Society, with all its components, has to fight corruption by rejecting it, publicly exposing those who are involved in it and educating its members to stay away from it, keeping in mind the precepts of our pristine faith and true Moroccan values based on decency, integrity and dignity,” King Mohammed VI added.
“Fighting corruption is a cause championed by both the State and society. The State, with all its institutions, has to fight this dangerous trend through the appropriate legal mechanisms and by incriminating all its aspects and severely punishing those involved in it,” the Moroccan monarch stressed.
