The members of the provincial council of Khémisset held their ordinary session for the month of June last Monday at the provincial headquarters, during which the items on the agenda were adopted unanimously. The elected officials highlighted the performance of the provincial council, mentioning what they described as “continuous efforts” towards the realization of socio-economic projects and the strengthening of basic infrastructure at the provincial level. A dynamic which, according to the President of the Council, Mohammed Lahmouch, reflects the desire of the various partners to guarantee the development of the province and the strengthening of local capacity as a major axis in the various local programmes.

The Provincial Council, he said, has decided to take out a loan of 60 million DH from the Communal Equipment Fund to carry out several socio-economic projects. For his part, Mehdi Daki, head of the social action division, presented a report on the stabilization of street vendors, 2,199 of them, in the cities of Khémisset and Tifelt.
