The great majority of state officials in the northern Mozambican province of Nampula are not complying with their obligations under the Law on Public Probity, according to attorney-general Beatriz Buchili.
The law was passed by the Mozambican parliament in 2012, but three years, on a working visit to Nampula, Buchili found that some of its key clauses are being ignored. Thus all officials at decision making levels are obliged to make a declaration of their assets, which must be regularly updated. This clause covers around 700 officials in Nampula - but, according to a press release from Buchili's office, she found that only 63 officials had submitted the declarations, and seven of those had done so outside the legal deadline.
“This illegality may be occurring in other provinces”, remarked the release. Furthermore officials in Nampula had neither identified nor dealt with the situations of conflicts of interests mentioned in the law. There were also cases of “officials who do not respect their ethical duties and not live in accordance with the general and special prohibitions in the law”, the release added.
