The advisor of the Istiqlal party in the community of Al Hoceima, Zakaria Madian, sent a letter to the president of the group concerning “the delay in the payment of the scholarship to the youth basketball team of Rif Al Hoceima”.
The advisor’s message specifies: “As part of the missions entrusted to us, which are mainly linked to the monitoring and control of the work of the collective council, and as you well know, Mr. President, the Moroccan legislator has very clearly defined the role of local collective councils in the task of supporting sport at different levels. Like the care given to it by the Constitution of the Kingdom of 2011, which obliges the various public authorities, in particular the elected authorities, to provide the necessary support to sport. The new constitution, in particular its articles 26, 31 and 33, stipulates the protection of sport and guarantees its good practice.
The advisor added: “Despite all the importance attached to these texts to sporting affairs, certain teams in the city of Al Hoceima are still awaiting the implementation of the Council’s obligations towards them and the implementation of this importance. that the legislator has assigned to them. Here, more specifically, I am talking about the Rif Al Hoceima youth basketball team, which has not received its grant from the Council for two years, and we frankly know the reason for this exclusion, which has affected the assiduity and productivity of the team, and it is a situation that we regret as jealous sons of this city and its influence through its different facades.
The independent advisor to the president declared: “We are thus questioning the honorable president on the results of the partnership which unites the team with the municipal council and the reason for this procrastination in the execution of its obligations”, calling for clarification of the true reasons for these delays and take the necessary measures to overcome the obstacles, save the team and sustain its presence in future sports competitions.
