Luanda – Angolan deputies vote on Tuesday (20), at the 12th Ordinary Plenary Meeting of the National Assembly, on the General State Account (CGE) for the 2019 fiscal year.
The vote on the General State Account (CGE) will be preceded by political statements.
The head of the MPLA parliamentary group, Virgílio Fontes Pereira, said at the last meeting of the parliamentary leaders’ conference that the CGE will mark the high point of the supervision over the Government, as it is the first exercise of the deputies after the approval of the revision of the Constitution.
He said that the issue of oversight was one of the main concerns of the MPs during the specific revision of the Constitution.
The leader of UNITA’s parliamentary group, Liberty Chiaka, said that his party would examine the CGE with a “critical eye”, with a view to requiring the Government to ensure that the document presented had a reflection and impact on the lives of citizens.
This is the second time that a General State Account (CGE) will be considered by the AN plenary. The CGE for the 2011 financial year was the first of its kind to be considered by the National Assembly, in 2013.
The document comprises the accounts of all the bodies of the Central and Local State Administration and of the Services, Public Institutes and Autonomous Funds, as well as Social Security and the Sovereign Organs.
