"It's terrible to have leaders with a vision impairment to the city of Maputo, Maputo forgetting that represents, in terms of dimensional and population, an almost insignificant portion of this country. It is true that this city has a significant contribution in the statistics, especially when calculating the rate of redistribution of income. For example, only the income of our Head of State, Armando Guebuza, is capable, in statistics, putting thousands of Mozambicans above the poverty line, when in reality they are below this line. "
The Government announces with pomp and circumstance, the debt contracted for the construction of the bridge to Ka Tembe over the Bay of Maputo. This is a loan of 689.4 million dollars between concessional credits (10%) and commercial loans (85%), and another 5% to be disbursed by the Mozambican government. Altogether, the bridge will cost us $ 725 million. No doubt it is a great achievement, not for most, but for the Mozambican elite. First, the idea of building a bridge to Ka Tembe is not all bad, but not a priority for a country that still fails to provide quality primary services to its citizens. Certainly not the public interest that the Government moves to plunge the state into debt avultadas to build an infrastructure like that, but yes, a private interest of a predatory elite. Is some of that money will strengthen the financial power of the same elite through corruption and commission payments. With this power, will strengthen the control media and civil society. Second, their businesses, through patronage, will be hired to provide services during construction of the bridge. But this would not be problem if the process was transparent. Third, perhaps the most serious, is that this project is simply elitist and unnecessary to benefit the minority at the expense of most suffering.
Mozambique is Maputo, there are 250 deputies nor the Chinese expatriates who dream of a citadel and a parliamentary China Town, the Ka Tembe, much less a government of ambitious 20-somethings. Looking at what is Mozambique, there are more priorities than a bridge over the bay of Maputo, especially in a country in which districts and administrative posts are not connected by roads and bridges, a location in which to die of hunger, while a another contiguous, the food rots for lack of access routes for the flow of products to the market, in a country where thousands of children, and when it rains in this period of cold, do not study because there are classrooms, but under trees, in which thousands of women die in childbirth along with their babies because of lack of health facilities for care. Indeed, in a country where pregnant women are forced to travel tens of kilometers in search of a facility for monitoring prenatal care; in which thousands of Mozambicans die from lack of health care, where patients abandon treatments for AIDS anti -retrovirals because health facilities are located at 50 km or more of their residence. Moreover, no conditions for passability of vehicles, and pass, make it once a day.
A month ago, the Stv reported a chilling case in the district of Mopeia, in Zambezia province. This is the case of a lady who was being transported by bicycle for five people, three men who ensured the bike and two women who accompanied her to the health center that is distant 40 km. In the interview, which occurred at 12:00, said they had left home by turns midnight. So, were there was 12 hours, pushing a bicycle on which a pregnant woman was a roll and drop groan. They were 12 hours without rest and suffering.
Those situations are, according to respondents, normal for pregnant women when arriving at the ninth month of pregnancy. Is that motherhood is far from their homes and have no close by, the "Mother House expected."
That lady was 40 km from suffering. Suffering the pains of childbirth pain and suffering caused by iron of a bicycle that was carrying. It was sad, but very sad to see her rolling around on a bicycle, provided by three people. In fact, her suffering was felt by more than companions proper for it.
He hoped that some governing, especially the President, had seen the suffering that you and your family. The same woman who won one day to vote for him in exchange for promises of solving the problems it until today, have not seen them resolved. It's the same lady who danced rulers seeking to accommodate the voting power, but who, today, and forget, rather than building an access road and a facility to ease your pain and suffering of their family, as you promised, want to build a bridge to accommodate your business and tourist appetites.
The Minister of Planning and Development, Cuereneia was clear in saying that the project is more than the tourist office: "Usually when we talk about this project, we speak only of the bridge, the bridge itself but we Maputo Ka-Tembe, to beyond the road Ka-Tembe Ponta de Ouro and the road-Matutuíne Boane. These areas have great potential economic and tourism in particular. Right now, the part of South Africa is already in good trafficability and here there is no good on the road, which means that domestic tourism is impaired. We are saying, however, that with the bridge to Ka Tembe, we will develop the other side of Maputo Bay, which means that the city of Maputo has a space for its expansion, and these are economic gains the country will have. " The question is: who is doing the Mozambican tourism? Certainly not the one that voted, and he still did not solve the basic problems of food self-sufficiency. They are, indeed, they already are more concerned by whims. Those who, when they wake up, your problem is not having enough to eat, but the difficulty of choosing what to eat.
The newspaper "The Nation" last Monday made a report that showed, if we decide to invest in priority areas, which was possible with this money:
Build at least 6,300 health centers to hospitals around the country, which would have in each administrative post 14 health facilities of its kind. At this point, it is estimated that 50% of the population live more than 20 km from the nearest health facility.
Develop a coal mining the size of which are currently being developed by multinational companies in the district of Moatize, Tete province.
Build at least seven bridges Armando Emilio Guebuza, an infrastructure that connects the south, center and north.
I get the impression that it is more important, perhaps even feasible, a bridge connecting Gherkin / Inhambane Maputo than / Ka Tembe. Maputo / Ka Tembe crosses of two barges which not only transport people, vehicles as well. Ka Tembe and Ponta de Ouro have input via Boane to be less distant than the deviation Gherkin / Inhambane. What we need in Ka Tembe, there is a bridge over the bay of Maputo, is therefore the rehabilitation of roads and expansion of the pier, the circulation 24 hours per day of barges.
It is terrible to have leaders with a vision impairment to the city of Maputo, Maputo forgetting that represents, in terms of dimensional and population, an almost insignificant portion of this country. It is true that this city has a significant contribution in the statistics, especially when calculating the rate of redistribution of income (income per capita). For example, only the income of our Head of State, Armando Guebuza, is capable, in statistics, putting thousands of Mozambicans above the poverty line, when in reality they are below this line. That is, join the income of 10,000 or more Mozambicans poor (living with at least $ 1 per day) to the Head of State (thousands of dollars / day), the statistics may reveal that all 10,000 are citizens of the class average. This is the importance of the city of Maputo in the statistics: removes us from poverty, without having evolved, which means that Mozambique is given as an example for poverty alleviation. The error statistics do not realize is that in Mozambique, more than the incomes of the poor to rise, is the richest wealth increases, which is just reflecting the conclusion that poverty is decreasing or stationary when is increasing.
That lady just now must have realized that this Government Guebuza and company does not tolerate nor cares about the suffering of the poor, but with the rich. It is ruthless. It is insensitive. It's elitist. It is individualistic. It is a localist vision. Only now is that you must have realized that the President does not feel the pain she feels because of lack of access roads and health facilities, it is only now that you must have realized that the only head of state arrives in your area helicopter, not through any of the holes she had to face hanging on a bicycle, it is only now that you must have realized that the Head of State always flies with a small mobile health unit in your plane, it does not feel the hardship she spent over 40 km on a bike. Members should know that she chose acceded least the idea, because the project will enable the Parliamentary Citadel, not the construction of a facility in the amount of $ 120,000 to relieve your pain and suffering of their families.
I miss the "Leaving Floor" because at least we walked all.
