Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane said yesterday afternoon that the implementation process of the Mozambique Port and Railways Institute (IFEPOM) brings with it several challenges typical of a new institution.

In this context, he recommended to the body’s new president, Carlos Fernando Bambo Nhangou, that he immediately start designing the normative instruments that are currently missing, while actively participating in the mobilisation of the technical staff and constitution of the necessary bodies for the full functioning of the institution.

“The incumbent, in coordination with other stakeholders, must establish mechanisms to ensure that the rail and port corridors can be a Development Pole, taking into account the role of rail and port infrastructures at national level and in regional logistics,” the prime minister stressed.

In carrying out these and other tasks, Maleiane continued, the newly sworn-in president should be guided by a results-oriented leadership favouring teamwork, as well as ensuring the good management of public affairs.

Maleiane explained that that the government had restructured the National Land Transport Institute (INATTER), giving rise to the creation of the Institute of Road Transport (INATRO) and the Mozambique Port and Railways Institute (IFEPOM) taking into account the current dynamics of the country’s social and economic development process and with a view to guaranteeing greater regulation, effectiveness and specialisation.

“The creation of the Mozambique Port and Railways Institute aims to provide the country with a regulatory institution which defines the rules for carrying out rail and port activities and also oversees compliance with technical standards and railway and port safety,” the prime minister said.
