Mozambique: Chapo calls for rigorous action against corruption

According to the President, who was speaking on Wednesday, in Maputo, at the opening ceremony of the First Seminar on External Oversight of State Resources for Public Managers, civil and criminal accountability of public managers must be regarded as an essential condition to curb fraud and corruption.

“It is not about creating structures just for the sake of creating them, but about strengthening the State’s capacity to self-regulate and correct deviations before they turn into crises. We also must have a State Procurement Center, which will be aimed at ensuring greater transparency and rationality in the processes of acquiring and supplying goods and services to the state apparatus”, he said.
