Africa-Press – Angola. The General Inspectorate of State Administration (IGAE) in Cunene is strengthening the mechanism for raising the legal awareness of citizens, with particular emphasis on those in rural areas, with a view to allowing greater adherence to cases of complaints.
The fact was advanced today, Friday, by the delegate of the IGAE in Cunene, Moisés Sovi, stressing that the plan to raise awareness of the communities, via the media, is in the portfolio, not only in the Portuguese language, but in the different local languages in order to get the message across.
“We have a project that is running which is the publicity support translated into local languages, which will be disseminated on local radios to mobilize citizens to denounce when they feel their rights have been violated”, he underlined.
This time, he said that through the denunciations, complaints and complaints department, telephone contact is available and any citizen who has difficulties interpreting Portuguese can do so in the local language.
Moisés Sovi admitted that many citizens have difficulties in identifying matters to be reported, a fact that requires help from professional associations, in order to raise the legal culture of citizens.
In this support, he added, there are messages about the importance and role played by the institution, its location and its work objects, in order to bring users closer to the IGAI.
