Luanda – The Vice President of MPLA, Luisa Damião, declared today, Saturday, that the days of public improbity are behind due to the reforms for the reinforcement of the trust in the State institutions, the citizens and the national and international investors.
Luisa Damião was speaking at the opening of a seminar on Ethics and the Challenges of Preventing and Fighting Corruption in the Angolan context, addressed to officials of the MPLA, at central and provincial levels, ministers and representatives of churches and civil society.
“We live in new times that require continuous improvement and strengthening of institutions, change of mentality and behavior, as well as broad participation and commitment of all sectors of society,” she said.
For the MPLA leader, the change of attitude and behavior in relation to public affairs is irreversible, since public resources are sacred and should serve the people in the fields of education, health in the generation of employment, promotion of growth and sustainable development.
She considered ethics as a central pillar in the exercise of management and good governance to improve the provision of services and goods, as well as to prevent and combat corruption.
The partisan official urged society to mobilize itself in the exercise of good practices, transparency, and efficient management of public affairs, as well as in the deepening of the democratic rule of law.
