“We want a public administration in which corruption is not tolerated, and where there is a fight against the culture of impunity”, declared the director of Mozambique’s Central Office for the Fight against Corruption (GCCC), Ana Maria Gemo, on Thursday.
Speaking at a course to train trainers from 18 ministries and other central state bodies in matters concerning preventing and fighting against corruption, Gemo said that freeing the state machinery of corruption “is only possible with the involvement of each one of us”.
The purpose of the training exercise, she stressed, was to reach a point at which the Mozambican public administration “in increasingly committed to providing good services, in which state officials and agents serve the state, and respect public property”.
About 40 senior civil servants are attending the two day course, and will be expected to pass on the knowledge obtained to their subordinates.
The training stresses such matters as the promotion of integrity, accountability and transparency as values and ethical principles which should guide members of the public administration in the exercise of their duties.
The GCCC officials giving the course will deal with the duties of public servants, and the consequences of violating those duties. They will describe the legal nature of crimes of corruption, and explain the duties and powers of the GCCC.
Gemo said the course s being held in recognition of the role played by prevention in the fight against corruption.
