Carmelita Namashulua, Mozambique’s inspector general of state, has urged staff at the new General State Inspectorate to firmly fight the misappropriation of public funds and respond to complaints on time. Meeting in Ponta do Ouro for the institution’s first coordinating council, they must set its direction for the next three years, according to Notícias.
The head of Mozambique’s General State Inspectorate, Carmelita Namashulua, called on officials at her institution on Wednesday 28 October to prevent any misappropriation of public funds and respond to petitions within deadlines, according to Notícias. She was speaking in Ponta do Ouro at the first Coordinating Council of the General State Inspectorate (IGE). The institution was created in January to combine the responsibilities of the former general inspectorates of Finance and Public Administration.
Carmelita Namashulua presented monitoring, oversight and inspections as means of ensuring that public resources benefit education, health, agriculture, infrastructure and other essential services, reports Notícias.
The official expects the first IGE meeting to set directions for the next three years of the current five-year term, with the aim of contributing to Mozambique’s fiscal consolidation, according to Notícias.
