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 today, Minister Qiuh. Recently, during your session in the House of Representatives, you referred to the “hook” in the dual transport sector as “obsolete.” Can you elaborate on what you meant by this statement?
**Minister Qiuh:** Thank you for having me. When I referred to the “hook” as obsolete, I meant that certain practices and methods within our transport sector no longer meet the demands of modern transportation and logistics. It’s crucial we recognize that our infrastructure and systems need to evolve to keep pace with global standards and efficiency.
**Editor:** Understandably, this statement garnered significant criticism. How do you respond to those who argue that this assessment undermines traditional practices that some workers rely on?
**Minister Qiuh:** I appreciate the concern raised by workers and stakeholders in the sector. My intention was never to dismiss traditional methods entirely but to highlight the necessity for innovation. We must find a balance between honoring established practices and embracing new technologies that can enhance productivity and safety.
**Editor:** What initiatives are you planning to implement to address the challenges and make improvements in the dual transport sector?
**Minister Qiuh:** We are working on several key initiatives, including investing in new technologies for logistics tracking and freight management systems, enhancing training programs for workers, and focusing on infrastructure development. These steps are aimed at creating a more efficient transport network that benefits everyone involved.
**Editor:** how do you see the future of transport and logistics in Morocco evolving under your leadership?
**Minister Qiuh:** I envision a future where our transport sector is not only more efficient and technologically advanced but also sustainable. By investing in green technologies and innovative logistics solutions, we can provide better services while taking care of our environment. My goal is to position Morocco as a leader in transport and logistics in the region.
**Editor:** Thank you, Minister Qiuh, for sharing your insights with us today. We look forward to seeing the developments in the transport sector.
