Menongue - The delegate of the General Inspectorate of State Administration (IGAE) in Angola’s southeastern Cuando Cubango province António Francisco Jaime on Tuesday encouraged citizens to denounce acts of corruption in all public institutions.
Speaking at the end of an assessment visit to the bodies overseen by the local Delegation of Justice and Human Rights, Jaime said denounces can be made through the Call Centre set up for this purpose in 2023, with free calls from 8am to 5pm on weekdays
António Francisco Jaime deplored the lack of culture among the locals in denouncing acts of mismanagement, including the victims themselves, who should be the first to report irregularities in public administration, so that the managers and officials involved can be held accountable.
According to the official, the fight aims to put an end to the bribery phenomenon in public institutions and to improve the levels of service provided by public servants and to ensure that the mismanagement of public funds is combated.
He explained that the assessment visit aimed to verify the levels of operation and organization of the Delegation of Justice and Human Rights and to secure the uniformity and standardization of the services provided to citizens.
Alfredo Passos, provincial delegate for Justice and Human Rights, on his turn, said that despite the numerous difficulties, especially the lack of proper premises, transport and technical equipment, more than 100 identity cards are issued every day.
The IGAE visit is part of the celebration of the 32nd anniversary of the institution, to be marked on January 17 having already covered the Traffic and Rapid Intervention Police (PIR) and Operative Units.
IGAE is the auxiliary body of the President of the Republic, whose mission is to carry out internal administrative control of the Public Administration, by inspecting, monitoring, auditing and supervising the activity of all the bodies and services of the direct and indirect administration of the State and autonomous administrations.
