Africa-Press – Angola. The Provincial Government of Moxico may move forward with the proposal to raise the Alto Luena neighborhood, located south of the city of Luena, to the category of municipality.
With this intention, framed in the Political-Administrative Division, the Government of Moxico will want that the Alto Luena neighborhood has “resources that allow to reach the levels of development desired by the local population”.
The proposal was announced today, Sunday, during the 1st extraordinary session of the Government of Moxico, also justifying that the measure can improve the approximation of basic social services to the population, whose demographic growth has been remarkable.
At the end of the meeting, the spokesperson for the meeting, Bonifácio Bravante, said that the concentration of 468,369 inhabitants in Luena, the capital city, corresponding to 57% of the population of Moxico province, reflects new challenges in the management of the city.
The challenges fundamentally translate into the expansion of essential infrastructures for social and economic development.
“The members of the government deliberated the approval of the proposal that divides the current territory of the city of Luena in two, being the municipality of Luena and Alto Luena, having as a dividing line the river with the same name until the commune of Lucusse, 133 kilometers , to the south”, he reinforced.
The meeting also analyzed the proposal to decorate, on the 4th of April, five figures who contributed to the development of the region.
The proposal of the Political-Administrative Division foresees the alteration of the State’s model of municipality, approved by the Council of Ministers, with the division of the provinces of Cuando Cubango and Moxico in two, thus making twenty (20) provinces and the increase of 164 for 581 municipalities.
The proposal envisages creating 19 municipalities for the province of Moxico and 11 jurisdictions for Cassai Zambeze, the likely new province.
