It is
a fact that involves a provincial director of an important sector to the economy
of Cabo Delgado, but society is not really concerned, and on the other hand,
they do not have the knowledge to understand what they should.
Last
week, there was a complaint from public servants and state agents to the
Provincial Office for Combating Corruption in Cabo Delgado, claiming that the
Provincial Director of Agriculture and Fisheries is involved in a scheme of embezzling
funds, an alleged action with his closest colleagues. 14 million meticals are
at stake.
However,
the same director was later appointed the following week by the governor of
Cabo Delgado to be part of the new government he formed. Practically, Valige
Tauabo did a sort of copy and paste of the members who worked with him during
the previous term. It is unknown whether there was an agreement made during the
campaign, perhaps to materialize this pact.
Looking
at the Director of Agriculture and Fisheries, it is clear that in the 100-day
plan, the agriculture and fisheries sector is one of the key areas with major
actions to be implemented. It is the same sector of the director who is being
accused of embezzling funds. Among the actions to be developed in these 100
days are the distribution of seeds, water pumps, as well as fishing supplies
such as motors, fishing gear, and boats.
Now,
we can say that the governor does not know whether his colleague embezzled
funds because he is competent with the government’s actions or if he knows but
is unaware of the extent of the alleged embezzlement, or maybe he knows and
does not want to know, or perhaps the whistleblowing employees are lying and
trying to tarnish his boss’s image.
And if
he maintains his position, will he not demote them or transfer them to the
districts as a form of revenge? So, how will things turn out in the coming
days? Because the prosecutor's investigation could take many days to uncover
the truth. What now? (AA in opinion)
