Poll shows corruption, unemployment and poverty threaten Morocco 31/01/2007
The results of a poll by the Moroccan Observatory of Public Administration, published in the Moroccan daily La Vie Eco last week, shows that corruption, unemployment and poverty threaten the normal governance of the country. The poll involved 1,800 households and 111 experts, considered opinion leaders in the field. It focused on the perception of Moroccans of their governing system and its efficiency. The respondents said that the major obstacles to a more efficient state administration are corruption (29.5%), unemployment (25.1%) and poverty (21.8%). Some 74% think that the Moroccan judicial system is corrupted, while 7% are satisfied. Almost 3.7% of the people find the access to some basic public services, such as health care, education and water and electricity supply, easy and reliable, while 25% think that the citizens of Morocco cannot easily obtain those services unless they belong to certain circles having customer relationships with the respective institutions.

Well... I suppose that after 20 years living overseas things haven't changed a bit. What a pity, but I still remember reading an article on the Economist in 1987, that predicted Morocco to become one of the best economies in Africa and amongst the Arab states was wrong.
