Maputo — 35 state officials were dismissed, or were expelled from the state apparatus in the central province of Sofala, from 2010 to March of this year for violating the norms that govern the Mozambican public administration.
According to the permanent secretary of the Sofala provincial government, Elisa Somane, cited in the Beira daily paper “Diario be Mocambique”, in 2010 there were 93 disciplinary proceedings. These led to 14 dismissals and 11 expulsions (an expulsion is a much more serious penalty, since the person concerned can never be employed by the state again).
35 of those accused were demoted, seven were fined and ten received warnings. Six were acquitted and the other cases are ongoing.
Somane who was speaking in Beira on Friday, on the occasion of African Civil Service Day, added that in the first three months of 2011, there were 29 disciplinary proceedings which have resulted in ten expulsions.
Somane said that the struggle against corruption is a battle that can be won by members of the public administration. “Let us be incorruptible in the exercise of our duties”, she urged.
She said that in Sofala 18,364 people are employed by the state. Of these, the majority (11,937) are teachers and other education workers..
