Morocco's Prime minister, Driss Jettou, denied in a release published Wednesday press reports that the government was planning to buy new Mercedes and BMW cars for ministers and their collaborators.

Jettou insists that the reports are not founded and that the government never had such plan under the 2004 finance law, currently under parliament scrutiny.
