Its scope of intervention was enlarged to cover the untraditional public
               administrations and public institutions a broad sector of semi-public
               entities  having  economic  character  which  are  subjected  financial
               control  of  the  state  as  they  are  sometimes  the  subject  of  citizen
               complaints about the service of their commercial disputes with third
               parties.  Nevertheless  the  ombudsman  receives  as  average  a  year
               10,000 complaints handled by a staff of several dozen different skills
               frameworks.  The  new  text  of  creation  has  stipulated  the  possibility
               for it to examine directly and systematically cases once it has taken
               cognizance  of  an  administrative  disfunction  caused  damage  to  a
               person  governed  by  a  private  law  either  because  he  ignores  the
               possibility open to him or he is unable to apply to the ombudsman to
               demand redress of wrongs and recover violated rights. Furthermore
               parliamentarians and other institutions are allowed to pass transfer
               the grievances of the public. This means of indirect referral sets up
               good cooperation with the various stakeholders.
               Regional  deployment  is  expected  given  the  concern  of  being  closer
               the citizens in the areas of residents to spare them the difficulties of
               travel to the main office. We presently have four regional mediators in
               addition to at local delegation and others are planned for in the short
               and medium term as well as the establishment of other delegates in
               the most important locations. We can send special reports to the head
               of  government  to  report  on  persistent  short  comings  identified  in
               public services as well as differences in behavior of the agents in their
               relations with public service users. We opted for better communication
               with  the  authorities  through  permanent  interlocutors  with  decision
               making  powers  and  appointed  to  facilitate  the  satisfaction  of  the
               complaint submitted before us.
               Similarly, quasi permanent working committees are established with
               administrations  which  most  likely  face  protest  by  citizens  to  solve
               as quickly as possible files with a sensitive or complicated character
               and pending cases. The law allows us more over to attend classes of
               persons in precariat situations such as widows, orphans, divorcees for
               the benefit of legal aid before the competent courts of the Kingdom.

               The  institution  plans  to  set  up  while  being  efficient  and  speedy
               three special delegates national in charge successively of facilitating
               access  to  government  information,  monitoring  the  simplification  of
