He said that the initiative aims to reorganize local commerce, allow better movement of people and goods, as, despite the awareness, they persist in disorganization, in addition to taking advantage of the opportunity to speculate on the prices of the basic food basket.

To this end, he highlighted that logistical conditions are being improved for the application of fines and the temporary suspension of some commercial establishments, as they had enough time to organize themselves.
He reiterated ongoing work to monitor unregulated and informal sales on sidewalks in the urban center of the city of Huambo, which has affected the fluidity of traffic and people’s mobility.
