In a statement to MAP, Mr. Maâzouz stressed that the main focus of this session was the regional multi-service company, a national project whose pilot experiments have been launched in four regions of the Kingdom, including that of Casablanca-Settat.
This company, he added, will be responsible for sectors such as electricity, water (connection and distribution) and sanitation.
Mr. Mazouz explained that the available data and statistics show that many areas in the region do not have drinking water or sanitation, which means that the creation of multi-service regional companies, within the framework of territorial solidarity, is likely to generalize electrical connections, drinking water and liquid sanitation.
On the other hand, he underlined the importance of other points on the agenda, in particular the complex dedicated to mental and psychiatric illnesses, the cost of which is estimated at 300 MDH, excluding medicine. For him, it is an exemplary project that meets the requirement to treat widespread diseases.
