Abdul Samad Qiuh, Minister of Transport and Logistics, praised the tasks undertaken by the dual transport sector, during the weekly oral question session in the House of Representatives, and even described the “hook” as “obsolete”, which attracted a torrent of criticism.
The new minister, who joined Aziz Akhannouch’s government during the last amendment, defended dual transportation professionals, stressing his desire to work on improving the working conditions of this group without harming the interests of other groups.
In addition, in his first appearance in Parliament, Qayuh called for working with the Ministry of the Interior to expedite the issuance of licenses for dual transport, which was widely welcomed among those working in this sector.
In response to this issue, the national secretary of the Moroccan Coordination of Dual Transport Sector Professionals, Abdel Samad Soussan, expressed his optimism in the words of the minister who comes from the largest region known for intense dual transport activity.
Soussan explained, “The Minister knows well the importance of dual transit and the services it provides, and the large number of dual transit vehicles in the Taroudant region, where he comes from, and he has represented him in Parliament for years… and therefore, he knows the challenges that professionals face.”
However, on the other hand, the national secretary of the Moroccan Coordination of Dual Transport Sector Professionals considered that “the Ministry of Transport and Logistics does not have the power to impose the decision on the Ministry of the Interior in order to expedite the convening of regional committees headed by workers to issue and decide on dual transport licenses.”
In the face of this situation, the same professional actor called for “learning from the mistakes in granting licenses and working to ensure that double transfer is at the same level, which will contribute to ending the dilemma of secret transfer.”

How does Minister Qiuh plan to address concerns regarding the potential risks of transitioning away from established transport practices?
**Interview with Abdul Samad Qiuh, Minister of Transport and Logistics**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Minister Qiuh. Recently, during a session in the House of Representatives, you made headlines by describing the “hook” in the transport sector as “obsolete.” Can you elaborate on what you meant by that?
**Minister Qiuh:** Thank you for having me. When I referred to the “hook,” I was emphasizing the need for modernization within our transport systems. The term represents outdated methods that no longer serve our goals of efficiency and sustainability. It’s crucial that we adapt to new technologies and practices to enhance our transport capabilities.
**Editor:** Your comments sparked quite a bit of discussion and criticism. How do you respond to those who feel that such remarks could undermine confidence in the current transport framework?
**Minister Qiuh:** I understand the concerns. Change can be challenging, but it’s essential for progress. My intention was to highlight areas where improvement is needed, not to dismiss the hard work that has been put into our transport systems. We must all be willing to engage in constructive dialogue about how we can move forward.
**Editor:** Can you share any specific plans or initiatives your ministry is looking to implement to address these outdated practices?
**Minister Qiuh:** Certainly. We are exploring several initiatives, such as investing in smart transportation technologies and prioritizing infrastructure development that aligns with international standards. Furthermore, we aim to incorporate more environmentally friendly practices to not only modernize our transport sector but also contribute to global sustainability efforts.
**Editor:** That sounds promising. Lastly, what message would you like to convey to those in the dual transport sector who might be apprehensive about these changes?
**Minister Qiuh:** Change can bring about uncertainty, but it’s also an opportunity for growth and improvement. I encourage everyone to embrace this transition with an open mind and to participate actively in the process. Together, we can build a more efficient, modern, and sustainable transport sector that will serve our people well into the future.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Minister Qiuh. We look forward to seeing the developments in the transport sector under your leadership.
**Minister Qiuh:** Thank you for the opportunity to discuss these important topics.
