Most newly hired nurses and teachers in Cabo Delgado had to pay for their jobs

 

The Anti-Corruption Office of the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office in Cabo Delgado revealed this week that most of the nurses and teachers recently hired in the Health and Education sectors were forced to pay bribes in order to secure their positions.

The revelation was made by Prosecutor Amilton Menete during the celebrations of the African Anti-Corruption Day.

According to Menete, the Health and Education sectors have become prime targets of corruption schemes, where promises of public employment are often tied to illegal payment demands.

“In recent times, corruption cases involving the Health sector have been on the rise. We are also seeing the same trend in the Education sector,” he stated.

Additionally, many of the new public employees recently admitted are known to be relatives and acquaintances of public institution managers. (Mozanorte)
