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.”
