Mozambican Prime Minister Carlos Agostinho do Rosario on Wednesday challenged the new general director of the Mozambique Cotton Institute (IAM), Luis Zeca Tomo, to adopt new measures to increase cotton production and thus gain more foreign currency for the country.
Rosario was speaking at the Maputo ceremony where he swore Zeca Tomo into office.
“The cotton sub-sector plays a significant role in the economic development of the country, since it contributes to foreign exchange earnings”, said Rosario. It created business opportunities and generated income for the households who survive on the basis of cotton production.
“The general director of the Mozambique Cotton Institute should ensure the effective implementation of the programme to revitalize the cotton value chain which the government approved in 2015”, said the Prime Minister.
Rosario also swore into office new permanent secretaries for the Foreign, Defence and Labour Ministries, respectively Jose Nhalungo, Fernando Campine and Maria da Graca Jacinto. He challenged them all to coordinate reforms in the public administration, and to improve the services provided to citizens.
“As Permanent Secretaries you should always promote a healthy work environment and good coordination, both with the top leadership, and with the technical staff of all areas”, said Rosario.
He urged them all to prioritise team work, and to strive for transparency, guaranteeing efficiency in discharging their responsibilities.
