COMMUNITY POLICE ATTACK RENAMO MEMBERS

Members of the community police attacked and injured six members of Mozambique’s main opposition party, Renamo, in Ancuabe district, in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, according to a Sunday report on the independent television station, STV.The man with the worst injuries, the Renamo district head of mobilization, Pedro Magawa, was transferred to the hospital in the provincial capital, Pemba. From his hospital bed, his head swathed in bandages, he said that a meeting held by Renamo in the village of Naputa, was broken up, after which the community police pursued and beat the Renamo members, and destroyed the local Renamo office.“I lost all my documents”, said Magawa. “They beat me up and knifed me in the cheek”. He claimed the attack had been orchestrated by the Naputa village chief, on the instructions of the ruling Frelimo Party.When STV visited the village, the TV crew found that the Renamo office had indeed been destroyed. Young members of the community police denied they had beaten anyone up, and said they had just stopped the Renamo meeting, apparently unaware that Renamo has every right under Mozambican law to hold peaceful meetings.They wondered whether some of the Renamo members had come to Naputa from areas in Sofala province where armed Renamo men have clashed with the army and police. That, however, is quite impossible, given that Ancuabe is about a thousand kilometres by road from the Renamo base at Satunjira, occupied by the army on 21 October.One local official, named as Cassimo Cassimo, said “we thought the massive presence of Renamo members since Thursday was strange. We don’t know what they wanted to arrange, but we are worried because we are always hearing that Renamo is launching attacks in the central region. We don’t want our village to be transformed into a den for Renamo”.

KIDNAP VICTIM ESCAPES

The victim of one of the latest kidnappings in Maputo managed to escape from her captors on Saturday, and the police have now arrested three people in connection with the case.The woman, of Asian origin, who owns an ice-making factory in the Maputo neighbourhood of Malanga, was kidnapped in broad daylight on Thursday. She was held captive in a house in Bunhica, in the neighbouring city of Matola.According to the police, she succeeded in escaping after the kidnappers allowed her to take a bath. She managed to scale a wall and ran to the next house, where the owners helped her contact the police.The police raided the Bunhica house, but by the time they arrived the kidnappers had fled, leaving behind two AK-47 assault rifles. The police detained two young men and a woman at the house who all denied any connection with the kidnapping and claimed they did not know the victim was being held in the house against her will.One of the men, Justino Fumo, owns the house. He told reporters his parents had given it to him. He rented the house to the kidnap gang, but claims he did not know what they were doing. Fumo said his tenants paid 7,000 meticais (about 234 US dollars) in advance for two months rent. Although he continued to live in an outhouse, Fumo said he did not notice anything strange going on. The second man, I. Ngomane, said he was just a middleman. His former girlfriend had asked him to find a house that she could rent. “Since I knew that my friend had a house, I facilitated contact between them”, he said. “I don’t know what happened afterwards”.The third person detained, J. Chongo, is the mother of Ngomane’s ex-girlfriend. She said she had never imagined that her daughter would become involved in kidnapping. She claimed that her daughter had left the country and was visiting relatives in South Africa. The police do not believe these stories. The director of public order in the General Command of the police, Xavier Tocoli, told reporters that the three were part of the kidnap gang. The police have declined to name the victim, and say she is now in a safe place, but will not divulge her whereabouts.The wave of kidnappings, mostly of business people of Asian origin or their relatives, began in late 2011. It took on alarming proportions last week, when there were at least six kidnappings in Maputo. One of these was caught by surveillance cameras, and shown on the Sunday night news by the independent television station, TIM. The fuzzy images showed three kidnappers operating with military precision, seizing their victim, neutralizing his employees, and making their getaway. The entire abduction only lasted for about 30 seconds. 

The criminals did not use masks, so perhaps they were unaware that they were being filmed.Meanwhile, one of the country’s most prominent intellectuals, the novelist Mia Couto, has revealed that he and his family have received anonymous phone calls, demanding money and threatening them with death.Speaking at a ceremony on Friday celebrating the 11th anniversary of the television station STV, Couto linked these threats with the wave of kidnappings.“Three days ago my family was the target of insistent death threats”, he said. “These threats have persisted and have plunged our whole family into fear and insecurity. After many anonymous phone calls, the intention was clear – it was to extort money”.Couto added that he had later discovered “the same criminal threat has knocked on the doors of many citizens in Maputo”.“It is not possible to downplay this phenomenon”, he warned. “It is happening at a time when, in the country’s capital, people are being kidnapped at an ever increasing rate. These crimes strengthen a perception of abandonment and lack of protection that we have not felt for the last 20 years”.

“Those who are kidnapped are not ‘the others’ – they are Mozambicans like any citizen”, Couto continued. “Every time a Mozambican is kidnapped, it is all of Mozambique that is kidnapped. And every time there is a part of our house that ceases to be ours and falls into the hands of crime”.“In this fight against forces without a face, without a name, we are all losing confidence in ourselves, and Mozambique loses the credibility of others”, he added. “These kidnappings are besieging us from within, as if it were another civil war, a war that creates as much instability, as any other military action, any other terrorist act”.

The police have taken belated measures to improve their performance, notably by sacking the Maputo City director of the Criminal Investigation Police (PIC), Januario Cumbane. He has been replaced by Eugenio Balane, who previously headed PIC in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. Cumbane had been in the job for 18 months, and no reason was officially given for his removal. However, sources in the General Command of the police, who requested anonymity, told the daily paper “Noticias” that one of the reasons behind his dismissal was police inertia over the kidnappings. “Inspector Cumbane and his team were not able to respond to the worrying phenomenon of the kidnappings”, said the paper’s sources. “It is true that some people have been arrested, but more thorough work was expected from the police to deal with this situation”.

PEACE SHOULD MEAN IMPROVEMENTS, SAYS GUEBUZA

Mozambican President Armando Guebuza declared on Sunday that peace should mean an improvement, not a deterioration, in the living standards of the population.Speaking at a rally in Mavende locality, Machaze district, in the central province of Manica, at the start of the latest stage in his “open and inclusive presidency”, Guebuza said “our battle is development, but for this we must continue to defend and strengthen our peace among Mozambicans”. He was speaking when tensions in the centre of the country have risen because of clashes between gunmen of the former rebel movement Renamo and the Mozambican defence and security forces. After a series of Renamo ambushes in mid-October, the armed forces (FADM) occupied the Renamo bush headquarters at Satunjira, in Sofala province, on 21 October.At the Sunday rally, Mavende residents urged Guebuza to enter into dialogue with Dhlakama to overcome the problems. Guebuza has repeatedly declared that he is willing to meet with Dhlakama, but the Renamo leader has refused to come to Maputo for such a meeting.Guebuza agreed that dialogue is the answer to the situation, and warned that nobody should endanger peace, whatever his motives. “Peace, whether it’s signed or not, should mean an improvement in our lives, not a worsening”.He said that, throughout his visits this year to the districts and localities, he had noted that “Mozambicans want to fight against poverty, and most of them are indeed fighting against poverty. They know that they are going to win”.But this battle required hard work from all Mozambicans, because “poverty is not going to suddenly disappear”.“Life is changing for the better for all Mozambicans”, said the President. “But for this to happen more rapidly, we need to understand that in life we have individual and collective gains that we must strengthen”.Among those collective gains were national unity and peace. He stressed that nobody has more right to peace than anybody else. It was “immoral and criminal” for anyone to appropriate peace for themselves.

GOVERNMENT PRESENTS PROSAVANA PROJECT

The Mozambican government on Tuesday in Maputo gave a public presentation on the Programme of Triangular Cooperation for Developing Agriculture in the Tropical Savannahs of Mozambique (ProSavana).The coordinator of ProSavana, Calisto Bias, told journalists that the project would contribute greatly to food security and diversification in the Nacala Corridor, covering the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Zambezia, Nampula and Niassa.ProSavana is part of the government’s 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for the Development of the Agricultural Sector (PEDSA). Its main objectives are to increase productivity, ensure access to markets, use natural resources in a sustainable manner and strengthen the business skills of farmers.The project has three components: ProSavana – PI (research project) that began in April 2011 and lasts until March 2016; ProSavana – PD (master plan) running from March 2012 until 2014; and ProSavana – PEM (extension and design) taking place between May 2012 and May 2019.ProSavana – PI will strengthen the capacity of the experimental stations of Mozambique’s Agricultural Research Institute (IIAM) in Lichinga and Nampula; assess the impact of introducing new agricultural technologies on natural resources and the environment; develop technologies to improve soils; and develop technologies for crop and livestock production.ProSavana – PD will develop a master plan to contribute to social and economic development by engaging private investment to promote sustainable production systems and poverty reduction.Targeting small and medium scale farmers, it aims to increase productivity, production and diversification; and develop marketing, processing and the supply of inputs to increase agricultural products for the financial benefit of farmers.ProSavana – PD covers 19 districts: Monapo, Muecate, Meconta, Nampula, Mogovolas, Murrupula, Mecubure, Ribaue, Lalaua and Malema in Nampula Province; Cuamba, Mecanhelas, Madimba, Ngauma, Lichinga, Majune and Sanga in Niassa Province; and Gurue and Alto Molocue in Zambezia Province.ProSavana – PEM will increase production of various crops by adopting new agricultural development models in the target areas.According to Calisto Bias, the geography of the Nacala Corridor provides an exceptional potential for agricultural production. He stressed that this must be done in a sustainable manner to guarantee self-sufficiency in food production and income generation.Currently, land use in the region is characterised by low productivity small scale subsistence farming; increasing population density putting pressure on traditional framing practices; and the collection of wood for charcoal production.ProSavana is financed by the governments of Mozambique and Japan. It will use technology developed in Brazil.

BANK OF MOZAMBIQUE CUTS KEY INTEREST RATE

The Bank of Mozambique has reduced its key interest rate by 50 base points – the 11th time in the past two and a half years that the bank has cut this rate.At its monthly meeting, held on Wednesday, the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee decided to reduce the Standing Lending Facility (the interest rate paid by the commercial banks to the central bank for money borrowed on the Interbank Money Market) from 8.75 to 8.25 per cent. But the Standing Deposit Facility (the rate paid by the central bank to the commercial banks on money they deposit with it) remains unchanged, at 1.5 per cent, and the Compulsory Reserves Coefficient - the amount of money that the commercial banks must deposit with the Bank of Mozambique – is also unchanged at eight per cent.The Committee also decided that the central bank will intervene in the inter-bank markets in order to ensure that the money supply does not exceed 44.729 billion meticais (about 1.5 billion US dollars) by the end of October. The money supply at the end of September was slightly more than 43.441 billion meticais – below the target figure set by the monetary policy committee of 43.817 billion meticais. There was an increase in notes and coins in circulation of 332.8 million meticais, while bank reserves shrank by 76.3 million meticais. The statement from the Committee noted that, according to the consumer price index for the three major cities (Maputo, Beira and Nampula), inflation rose by 0.24 per cent in September, following four successive months of price falls (deflation). Prices in Nampula rose by 0/92 per cent, and in Beira by 0.03 per cent, but in Maputo deflation continued with a price fall of 0.15 per cent.Inflation since January now stands at two per cent, while inflation over the past year (October 2012 to September 2013) is 4.52 per cent. 

The Bank attributes low inflation to increased supplies of vegetables, fruits and pulses in the cool season, to a reduction in international commodity prices, and to the decline in the value of the rand, which makes Mozambique’s imports from South Africa cheaper. The value of the metical against the US dollar was virtually unchanged over the most. On the last day of September, the metical was quoted at 29.86 to the dollar on the Inter-Bank Exchange Market. On the last day of August, there had been 29.85 meticais to the dollar.Against the South African currency, the metical was quoted at 2.98 to the rand. This was a slight depreciation of the metical by 2.4 per cent. However, since January the metical has gained in value by 14.1 per cent against the rand. In September, the statement said, the country’s net foreign reserves grew slightly (by 5.33 million dollars), bringing Mozambique’s total foreign reserves to 2.878 billion dollars, enough to cover imports of goods and services for 6.5 months. This figure was 256.5 million dollars higher than the target for the period.

GOSSIP!!!!!!!!!

Journalists Adriano Remedi Miraldina and Gabriel , both in the service of STV Group SOICO , were arrested yesterday in Beira , during three consecutive hours in 11 . Precinct Police of the Republic of Mozambique ( PRM ) in the capital of Sofala province . It all started when , after a complaint , those reporters and a third journalist , Francisco Anger, intercepted hundreds of young party Frelimo a selection procedure to fill the posts of presidents of polling in the upcoming elections . The story begins with an announcement released by STAE ( Electoral Administration Technical Secretariat ) , that would elapse tender aimed to recruit about a thousand presidents of polling in Beira , to assume these functions in the next elections . So far the issue was peaceful and normal. Only, however, journalists were alerted that STV previously selected by young Mozambican Youth Organization , organization d Frelimo Party , were at the level of the cells of his party in the border districts to be recruited in a process illegal and parallel to they were just young Frelimo party to fulfill the thousand vacancies such that STAE was announced, the presidents of polling stations . It is not known for sure if this recruitment parallel operation was in fact agreed with the provincial STAE , but suspicions arose and journalists were made to where it was happening , alerted by a complaint . Journalists were warned , on the basis that the operation was to recruit only young Frelimo Party for the presidencies of polling stations and the operation stemmed in collusion with officials of the conservatory .

WTS alerted journalists were the Committee of Frelimo at the city of Beira in Munhava where actually found hundreds of young people to be subjected to such selection " secret " . Surprised these maneuvers and aware that they had been detected , members began OJM for assaulting journalist Francisco Anger, who suffered veiled threats between them that he would take the camcorder .

Another colleague of Anger, Adriano Remedi , would also suffer threats and abuse . Eventually arrested by police and journalists Adriano Remedi Miraldina Gabriel . The police took the defense of partisan maneuvering thus trying to intimidate the press . The elements of Frelimo enraged eventually hold the car using the STV barricades block . And since they called the police in order to get under threat from the authorities compel journalists to move away from the site without registering the evidence visiuais the ongoing attempt to promote recruitment of young Frelimo only to fill vacancies in the polling stations upcoming elections , apparently to better " promote the Frelimo Party power match-fixing ." According to sources who spoke to the Daily Reporting and weekly digital Canalmoz Mozambique Channel , the resistance of Frelimo members that were filmed derived from the fact that they have been caught on the back foot and so have been dismantled its plan with the arrival local press .

" They had prepared the entire process with prudence but finally had appeared journalists " WTS to catch the " maneuver " .

" They started in the cells of the neighborhoods . Began with the selection in the base core , to the Secretaries of OJM neighborhoods . So the list of young people to go to polling stations to fill vacancies in STAE came out of the neighborhoods . These compiled lists and referred them to the Committee of the city of Frelimo in Munhava . The requirement was to have a red card Frelimo party , "he told us one of our youth who spoke on condition of anonymity for not reporting retaliation . The same information we have been advanced by other young people in different situations . The selection aimed at framing " young believers to Frelimo in the polling stations in order to ensure the victory of Frelimo in Beira ."

In Beira odds Frelimo recover the Municipality are quite remote and in this connection are trying by all means could reach the goal of winning local elections scheduled for November 20 . " Frelimo tried everything in detail . STAE put the announcement in the local newspaper . The notary public servants were enlisted to be in office on that party headquarters . " " To host the Frelimo were highlighted conservatory officials dealing with the issue of criminal records . Health officials dealing with the issue of medical certificates were also enlisted to perform tasks at the headquarters of Frelimo that everything be assured . " Here in summary reports of young people who after all have nothing to do with Frelimo and were who gave the warning signal to the press to have been suspicious of the fact that state officials are working at the headquarters of the party for such purposes . In the selection of candidates for presidents of table assemblies employees asked the youth to honor commitments , some young people told us . " All documents requested by STAE are being treated at the headquarters of Frelimo . The documents will be delivered by the party to STAE and spent it all as if the candidates had submitted applications directly to STAE , "notes one of our sources . Some young people denounced the practice that was in progress , the press , because for them it was clear why the Frelimo anyway do not want parity in electoral bodies , as they had heard and that is what is on the table in the rounds of the of the deaf between Renamo and the government , dominated by Frelimo . " They want to ensure the fraud," said one of those young people in our Report. The selection process , by STAE , candidates for presidents of the month voting started yesterday and ends on Saturday . Just to Beira thousand people are needed . The purpose of the episode reported to the press in Beira , our searched Reportage hear the provincial secretary of Frelimo in Sofala , Henriques Bongesse . This told us that it is the City Committee of Frelimo and only these to speak of . We tried to call the secretary of the Committee 's headquarters city. The number was out of service . Francisco Manjate , deputy director of information WTS and delegated to the border , when heard by Canalmoz to be able to comment on what happened to journalists of his television station to the point of being detained by police , said : "We were in the 11th Precinct of police and agents do not know what kind of crime set impendia on journalists , which were eventually released. Were drawn up and an auto commander informed us that journalists may be called or not , "he said .

Manjate eventually report to our reporting that " PRM tried to retain the cameras " to journalists . " I asked what law required such a procedure and finding no response to PRM did not insist ." It should be noted that last July the PRM arrested freelance journalist , Edwin Hounnou on the allegation of military secrecy . Hounnou was released after about one week in terms of identity. The process never progressed . At the time Edwin Hounnou was caught photographing the PRM within the Police headquarters to be transported on the bus company ETRAGO similar to that at the time were being attacked by armed Renamo in Muxungué acting in retaliation for the attack that forces special Police - FIR , had made ​​shortly before the civil Renamo headquarters at the administrative post of district Chibabava National Road N1 .         ( Canalmoz )

Core narrowest uncooperative towards bringing it!

A well-placed source within the Mozambican Government has assured the Official " CM " that a fund is available to forty professionals who have the responsibility of presenting verdaedeira the image of the president of the republic. Analysts unfold in different fronts , namely scrutinizing the thesis Renamo , now in dialogue with the Government . However , responding to the question of allocation of two million dollars for this operation , the spokesman of the presidency , Dr.Edson Macuácua was laconic to claim to be " totally and absolutely false." These funds are being used not only to counter voices outside the party , but as those who have taken within the Frelimo a position far from Armando Guebuza as advance sources . Inside has been the target of these Graça Machel , widow of Mozambique 's first president before it the Secretary - General of the United Nations recently said that the country is poorer today . The incidence of analysts is felt not only in the press ( " News " and "Diary of Mozambique ) , in radio and audio -visual , as on facebook and other social networks , where analysts hired guarantee a living presence 24 hours to counteract the critical voices , conducting dialogues or participate . System analysts ( who have nothing to do with the name that is given to the computer system ) have a weapon the enhancement of President Armando Guebuza , this wife and daughter of the same , tracing a picture flawless regarding its policy of " self -esteem " of povomoçambicano.A posture of these analysts is the preparation of analyzes and that the title corrosive bleach dismantle the social beliefs that Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama is for democracy and peace , showing up in the disqualification of the same and every journalist that emphasizes their claims from Sadjundjira . Therefore , any citizen today that give delight and substance to the claims of Renamo , particularly with regard to parity , that Frelimo using your experience and sense of opportunity to qualified as valid , clear , relevant and urgent , can be targeted by analysts connotations system . But the concern Frelimo aims to not allow recovery of the legitimacy and moral authority Dhlakama has gained visibly known that in October 2012 was very low . The voices of analysts that have come to light are at the forefront as the emptying of Renamo claims , reducing them as founded on bellicose threats and blackmail . And any opinion

rational on parity is to be " devoured " the same level of freedom of expression , the listed fiercest parading in the Great Debate and Thursday Night , both programs TVM . Any manifestation of human freedom and thought, any manifestation of independence ideological relation to the target system is cataloged as "Cannibalism " by powerful institutions .

The succession of President Guebuza is the crux of this climate we live . According to the " CM " found , has degenerated into a growing sense of unease in Mozambican society , as well as within certain sectors of the " drumming plus cob " defrauded with expectations created around that . At the same time , it is known that Armando Guebuza has unfolded in action on two poles , throwing cartadas to control the party and convince annoying internal voices that should remain in power after 2014 , constitutional limit . There is a feeling of Mozambican society of discomfort regarding this assumption , considered claims based on business and the advent of oil and other minerals which aims to ensure at the same timem keep receipts , so that the " holdings " and " front" survive to his succession . " If the succession Chissano / Guebuza was ahead two years , the President of Mozambique has been preparing the transmission of testimony in a meticulous manner , taking into account all the details that guarantee a strong influence after his retirement and that does not reduce a cosmetic figure as was the case with its predecessor . At this time the opposition within the party concerned than the actual domestic political opposition , "says one well-placed source in fear of Frelimo , thus explaining why the 10th Congress of Pemba reference figures , regarded as radical , which

threaten to take control of the party were left had been . The concern of the hosts in the wash Frelimo image Guebuza is to ensure that certain suitability lost in certain spheres party in recent times " I am talking about veterans of the armed struggle for national liberation , now also interested in the control of the Party and repossess their influential positions . To these are not mutually exclusive demobilized led by Herminio dos Santos , who were reprimanded in about ten years the mandate of Guebuza , and together these former combatants residents of Military Zone , which are being removed to make way for a development of daughter daughter of President Guebuza . These are a campaign against his comrade, which in table wears politically Frelimo , which lost some of its influence in the city of Maputo , said our source , who is pushing the blame of suaimpopularidade and party for independent newspapers more warned of nepotism . " However , the belief on the part of Guebuza that any press is hostile to his person a lot has to do with the illusion produced by laboratories ideological " good catch " approach advocated by analysts of the system , which has exacerbated founded on the assumption that the criticism stems from jealousy manifested the empire he built beneath the ceiling of the presidency as soon as the voices to be silenced are reminiscent of scribes anti -patriotic and a second nation, " the source said I said not a new feeling , because dominated the thinking of Frelimo in 1989 , when remission then by journalists of the petition , entitled " the Right of the People to Information " . "The president is on many fronts , and faced with the factor of having little time to solve all the issues that came to the waterfalls . Hence his advisers are not seriously informed that there is no deliberate attitude to ostracisar , but it is a question of a society that is changing, is not the same as 1975 or 1989 . The danger is that your core narrower uncooperative in the sense of bringing it he has for enemies , which creates a climate of revenge and resentment on the part of the president , "said our witness .

" The malaise of Mozambican society met in crisis Government / Renamo the rub , for the last five years have been marked by Guebuza wear your Executive has not always lived up to expectations , but through palliative and unfulfilled promises as combating poverty , which has been ineffective and instead of results there is a growing gap between rich and poor, " said our source as the all demonstrations and political rights the system responded with violence. Reina why a growing skepticism about the State, the citizens who sent their sovereignty in exchange for security . " It was here where he lived in hope Guebuza , who were true implementer of a modern rule of law " , the source said the " CM " who without mincing words stressed that , ironically , " there where the people had more hope in him which was more disappointed . " According to the source that we have been quoting , not settled the demilitarization of Renamo in a context of political openness , but twitching dialogue with this old belligerent party in the past ten years suffered at the hands of the repressive machine through the Force Rapid . " The impact of these events was echoed in the independent bodies , while government agencies were instructed to stifle them , told fonte.Aliás the public media have certain guidelines to keep twitching around in recurrent low government security forces . The coryphaei regime generally enraged , not only oppose the disclosure of these clashes , as well as advocating for redundancy any manifestation citizen Renamo , nicknamed , the source said , the party " not nationalist ," as opposed to Frelimo and MDM , " true nationalist " . " Now , any coverage that makes the party " not nationalist , "and especially the importance that is given to their hypothetical operations of self-defense against attacks from the FIR and FADM is nicknamed by current analysts as obvious misuse of the press law that independent journalists enjoy thanks to Frelimo . This is the feeling within the Frelimo " , as clarified our witness , who said that before this scenario reigns ceptismo that the legislature was distracted when deuprovimento the press law in force in the country and that the nãopermitir cautions that make the same with regard to the law on access to source .

Still a lack of political will on the part of Frelimo historically constitutes the " Achilles heel " with regard to access to official sources , whose bill was rejected by the majority in parliament bench . Government agencies suffer interference in editorial decisions and they are not free of pressure that descends into self -censorship of journalists and editorial responsibility . " Just as the group of analysts now says that the turmoil in average is promoted by expatriates and journalists who have a second home , in the past to attempt to impose the necessity of the press law was regarded as a conspiracy of the "whites " . " In short , I must say that the present press law , whose merit the champions of truth attach to Frelimo , was due to a carefully thought imposition of professionals who put the former president, Joaquim Chissano , before an impassable barrier , and emptying all any attempt to discredit the petition , "concluded

Only credible institution attacked by virus

Mozambique’s Central Office for the Fight against Corruption (GCCC) is investigating possible criminal practices at the Administrative Tribunal, the body that is supposed to check the legality of public expenditure. The director of the GCCC, Ana Maria Gemo, told reporters on Thursday, that prosecutors have already begun working on the accusations against the Administrative Tribunal, which were published in considerable detail in last week’s issue of the independent weekly “Savana”.The “Savana” story drew from a leaked audit, carried out by the consultancy firm Deloitte and Touche which alleged irregularities in tendering, improper advance payment to suppliers, payment of undue allowances, and the hiring of Tribunal staff themselves as consultants.The audit, covering 2012, noted that 36 per cent of the contracts for providing the Tribunal with goods and services were awarded directly, without any public tendering, in violating of the regulations on tendering. The amount of money spent on these awards was over 103 million meticais (about 3.45 million US dollars).The Tribunal defended itself to the auditors claiming that all the direct awards were made under the various exceptions envisaged in the tendering rules. Thus a state body may award goods or services directly, without public tender, if there is only one supplier in the market, or under emergency conditions, or when the contract is for military purposes, or when the amount concerned is less than 87,500 meticais (for goods or services), or less than 175,000 meticais (for building work).Deloitte was not convinced. The auditors remarked “we consider that the direct award of contracts is always an exception”. The Tribunal did not show that the contracts signed were economic or efficient, and the direct awards “compromise the principle of free competition”.
One example was the award of a contract, worth 56.3 million meticais, for installing a data and voice network inside the Tribunal’s new headquarters, to the company Triana without any public tender.The Tribunal justified this on the grounds that it would have taken several months longer to install the system had the normal tendering procedures been followed. This excuse, Deloitte said, meant in reality there had been “a lack of adequate planning”. Furthermore, there was no evidence that Triana had presented the legally required bank guarantee for half the sum (28.1 million meticais).Deloitte found that, in a blatant conflict of interest, the Tribunal hired its own staff, including the Tribunal’s general secetary, Luis Herculano, as consultants. For this work, Herculano was paid almost 900,000 meticais on top of his normal wages for the year. Four other Tribunal staff members were also hired as consultants. In every case, payment to these “consultants” was authorised by the presiding judge of the Administrative Tribunal, Machatine Munguambe.The audit also found that staff members were exceeding the limits on their use of cell phones paid for out of the Tribunal budget. Each member of staff is entitled to an allowance of 2,000 meticais a month for mobile phone use. The Tribunal’s excuse for greatly exceeding this allowance is that its staff were using their phones to access the Internet, a possibility not considered when the Finance Ministry drew up the norms for communication allowances.Deloitte had no choice, however, to stick to the letter of the law. “The allowances are not authorised by the Minister of Finance, the only authority competent to authorise allowances and their limits:, it pointed out. The total excess cell phone payments detected by the audit amounted to over 746,000 meticais.The auditors also thought it “a grave financial irregularity” to pay in advance, with sums from one year’s budget, for goods and services for the following year. The Tribunal had done this in regard to cell phone payments – it paid 950,000 meticais to the phone companies M-Cel and Vodacom in late 2012 for 2013 invoices that it had not yet received.
The Tribunal has a perfectly good explanation for this. Because the monthly budget instalments are disbursed late by the Finance Ministry’s National Treasury Directorate, it made good sense to use funds left over from the 2012 financial year to ensure that the Tribunal could continue to operate normally in early 2013.Good sense it is – but the auditors can only operate within the law, and the Law on the State Financial Management System (SISTAFE) states categorically “Expenses can only be paid during the financial year for which they have been budgeted”.Deloitte also questioned the payment of almost 60 million meticais to the national airline LAM, for air tickets, vehicles hire and accommodation. The invoices for flights could not be related to specific tickets, and the invoices for car hire did not specify the type of vehicle hired and for how many days. Accommodation invoices did not specify the names of the persons concerned and the length of their stay.Without such details, said Deloitte, “it is impossible for us to confirm the integrity of all the sums paid to LAM”.It is embarrassing that the Administrative Tribunal, which is the highest audit body in Mozambique, should have been found so wanting in its own procedures by an international auditing company.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX EQUIVALENT TO 530 MILLION DOLLARS

The Mozambican Tax Authority (AT) on Wednesday announced that the true payment of capital gains tax on the sale of shares in Area Four of the Rovuma Basin by the Italian energy company ENI to the Chinese National Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Corporation (CNODC) is not 400 million but 530 million US dollars.ENI heads the consortium exploring for hydrocarbons in Area Four of the Rovuma Basin, off the coast of the northern province of Cabo Delgado, where vast deposits of natural gas, amounting to some 80 trillion cubic feet, have been discovered.ENI signed an agreement on 13 March with the Chinese company was to pay 4.21 billion US dollars for 28.57 per cent of the ENI stake in Area Four. Since ENI held 70 per cent of the rights to Area Four, this equated to 20 per cent of the total stake.According to an AT press release, the tax is paid partly in cash and partly in kind. The 400 million dollars refers only to the cash payment, which is 32 per cent of the amount on which tax can be charged. This amount is not the full 4.21 billion dollars of the purchase, but only 1.25 billion dollars – the reduction is due to the length of time that ENI has held the rights. The TA release reproduces the equations used to show how much tax was owing.The second payment is in kind, taking the form of investment of 130 million dollars in building a 75 megawatt power station in Palma, the northern district where ENI plans to build its liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant. Under the agreement, the Mozambican state will own 100 per cent of the power station, but will not bear any of the risk in building it. The power station should be operational by 2018, when the start of LNG production is forecast.The TA points out that this is by far the largest amount Mozambique has ever received in capital gains tax. The cash payment alone is equivalent to about 2.5 per cent of Mozambique’s Gross Domestic Product, and is 74 per cent more that the fiscal contributions of all the mega-projects put together in 2012.

"There is a group of people is to sow terror in the suburbs of Matola. What is the Government doing to address this issue? "Questioned Tomo.
