For over a year now, a total of 3500 families have been claiming their flats built by General Contractor, calling on the French company to honor its commitments and deliver to them their houses after a delay of more than a year.
“When the creation of the new city was announced a number of families rushed to the premises of the company to buy new flats, obtained bank loans for the purpose, paid the property developer and prepared themselves for their new homes,” the president of the association “Tamesna Awalan” (Tamesna first), Houcine Hayani, had said.
He added that “for more than a year now, these families have been asking General Contractor-Maroc to hand them over their due flats, but up to now they have received nothing.”
Now, at last, the problem has been solved after four months of hard work made by a mediation commission designated by the housing ministry to look into this crisis.
Thus the new management of the GCM has signed on Monday two contracts. The first is with the state-run construction company Al Omrane which will take charge of the French company's projects in Tamesna.
The second was signed with the Tamesna Association for Development and Solidarity, which is representing the families claiming their houses. The company thus made a number of commitments to alleviate the situation.
According to the new arrangement, at the end of the new deadlines, the French company commits to pay each client MAD 3,000 for each day of delay.
“This accord has put an end to the difficulties faced by the GCM in the implementation of its programmers as part of Tamesna city project,” said Abdelkader Kaioua, the president of the mediation commission.
