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.”

What are the potential risks and benefits of modernizing the transport sector that you discussed during your interview, Minister Qiuh?
**Interview with Abdul Samad Qiuh, Minister of Transport and Logistics**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Minister Qiuh. In your recent address in the House of Representatives, you discussed the dual transport sector and referred to the “hook” as “obsolete.” This has raised quite a bit of controversy. Can you elaborate on what you meant by that?
**Qiuh:** Thank you for having me. When I referred to the “hook” as obsolete, I was highlighting the need for modernization within our transport sector. We are in a rapidly evolving world, and our infrastructure must reflect that. The term “hook” was intended to signify outdated practices or methods that do not serve our current needs and can hinder progress.
**Editor:** There has been a significant backlash to your comments. Critics argue that labeling longstanding practices as obsolete could undermine the livelihoods of many who depend on these systems. How do you respond to these concerns?
**Qiuh:** I completely understand where the criticism is coming from, and I appreciate the importance of these practices to many individuals. However, my intention was not to diminish their value, but rather to encourage a discourse on necessary evolution. We need to strike a balance between respecting traditional methods while embracing innovation that can enhance efficiency and safety.
**Editor:** Speaking of innovation, what specific changes or improvements do you envision for the transport sector under your leadership?
**Qiuh:** Our goal is to invest in sustainable and cutting-edge transportation technologies. We aim to improve public transport, enhance logistics capabilities, and reduce environmental impact. This could involve digitizing services, developing better safety protocols, and even exploring the use of electrification in transport systems.
**Editor:** That sounds ambitious! How do you plan to engage stakeholders from the transportation industry in this transformation?
**Qiuh:** Engagement is crucial. We will hold consultations with industry leaders, transport unions, and community representatives to ensure that everyone has a voice in the discussions. Collaborating with these stakeholders will allow us to create solutions that are practical and beneficial for all parties involved.
**Editor:** Thank you, Minister Qiuh, for your insights and for addressing these important issues in our transport sector. We look forward to seeing how your plans unfold.
**Qiuh:** Thank you for having me. I’m excited for the future of our transport and logistics, and I’m confident that together, we can bring about significant and positive changes.
