Africa-Press – Angola. The candidate for President of the Republic on the CASA-CE list, Manuel Fernandes, is carrying out a field trip today in the Kikolo, Kwanzas and Congolenses markets, where he will ask sellers and customers to vote for the coalition he directs.
According to the Secretary for Information and Marketing, João Nazaré, the delegation of the leader of CASA-CE is concentrated, around 9:00, in the vicinity of the Textang company, in Cazenga.
In the afternoon, Manuel Fernandes receives, in audience, the US ambassador to Angola, Tulinabo Mushingi, with whom he will discuss the political situation in the country, in particular the electoral process.
The meeting with Tulinabo Mushingi is the second that the president of CASA-CE has with diplomats accredited in Angola in the space of a month.
Number 5 in the ballot paper, CASA-CE competes for the August 24 Elections with the motto “House, work and fair salary”. As part of the electoral campaign, the candidate for President of the Republic for the coalition has already been to Ndalatando, Malanje, Uíge and Zaire.
On Sunday, in the municipality of Soyo, province of Zaire, Manuel Fernandes said that he proposed for the post of President of the Republic to guarantee decent wages for workers, employment and housing for young people.
“It is for a house for each head of the family, it is for a job for each head of the family and with a fair salary for each worker that I am proposing to be President of the Republic”, said the leader of CASA-CE, during an act mass politician who guided the parallel market “Paulo Gomes”, on the outskirts of the city of Soyo.
Manuel Fernandes, accompanied by the number one candidate on the list of deputies for the Zaire provincial constituency, Augusto Makuta Nkondo, and other officials, appealed to local voters to vote for the coalition, which, he said, has a governance program capable of solve the country’s various problems.
The politician exemplified that the province of Zaire contributes a large amount of revenue to the State Budget, but that it still lacks infrastructure that can absorb the active workforce, which is the youth.
“That’s why we’re going to make a change for well-being, on the 24th of August”, promised Manuel Fernandes, for whom the scenario should be reversed, because he considers it a sin not to have a Higher Institute for Petroleum in Zaire.
The CASA-CE governance programme, he said, establishes 15 percent of oil revenues to be channeled to the province of Zaire, to guarantee its development. Manuel Fernandes recalled, on the occasion, that the current centralized model of governance does not allow the integral development of the country, defending, therefore, the realization of municipalities in 2024.
“For the integral development of the country, both cities and villages, municipal elections must be held in 2024. Because municipalities are a government of proximity and an opportunity for the citizen’s self-fulfillment”, he said.
