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 by 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 professional actor called on himself to “learn from the mistakes in granting licenses and work to ensure that double transfer is at the same level, which will contribute to ending the dilemma of secret transfer.”

**Interview with Abdul Samad Qiuh, Minister of Transport and Logistics**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Minister Qiuh. Recently, you praised the efforts of the dual transport sector during a session in the House of Representatives. Can you elaborate on what specific tasks you believe are most commendable?
**Minister Qiuh:** Thank you for having me. The dual transport sector has made significant strides in improving infrastructure and operational efficiency. Their commitment to modernization and sustainability is evident in the ongoing projects aimed at enhancing both road and rail networks. These initiatives are crucial for boosting economic growth and facilitating trade.
**Editor:** During the session, you referred to the “hook” as “obsolete,” which sparked quite a bit of controversy. Can you explain what you meant by that remark?
**Minister Qiuh:** Yes, that comment has generated discussion. By referring to the “hook” as obsolete, I aimed to highlight the need for innovation in our transport systems. While certain traditional methods may have served us well in the past, we must embrace new technologies and solutions that can make transport more efficient and environmentally friendly.
**Editor:** Many critics argue that dismissing existing practices may undermine the livelihood of those who rely on traditional methods. How do you respond to those concerns?
**Minister Qiuh:** I understand the concern, and it’s important to approach any transition thoughtfully. Our goal is to integrate modern practices while also considering the impact on affected communities. We will prioritize training and support for those in traditional roles so that they can adapt to the changing landscape of transport.
**Editor:** What are your priorities moving forward in the transport sector?
**Minister Qiuh:** My main focus is to enhance connectivity and accessibility throughout the country. We need to invest in smarter infrastructure, prioritize public transportation, and work towards reducing our carbon footprint. Collaboration with local stakeholders will be key in achieving these goals.
