Head of the Moroccan government Aziz Akhannouch said his cabinet needed a reshuffle as the government assesses its mid-term achievement. Speaking to his RNI party members at a rally, Akhannouch defended his cabinet saying he ensures “to guarantee harmony and cohesion within the government’s majority.”The specter of the change of PAM leadership hovered around the meeting. PAM elected a trio led by current housing minister Fatima Zahra Mansouri to lead the party succeeding to justice minister Abdellatif Ouahbi. Government’s spokesman has earlier denied the accusations saying cabinet members were responding to MPs questions. At mid-term, Akhannouch government faces a series of challenges notably drought and social demands by different sectors calling for wage hikes.
