Africa-Press – Angola. The coordinator of the commission of UNITA deputies visiting the province of Huambo, Américo Chivukuvuku, defended, this Tuesday, the need for permanent contact with citizens, to better understand their political, social and economic reality.
Speaking to the press, at the end of the first day of visits, as part of the UNITA Parliamentary days, he said that deputies, as entities elected by the population, have the duty to represent them with dignity and to defend their necessary well-being.
Contact work with the population in communities, he said, is a timely need to understand the difficulties, anxieties and daily expectations.
“Whether the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch, all of its actions only have value if they aim to serve, above all, the citizen”, he highlighted.
Américo Chivukuvuku informed that, in five days of work, the Parliamentary Committee, in addition to maintaining contact with the population, will speak to civil society about the implementation of local authorities in Angola.
He said that one of the priorities of the UNITA Parliamentary group is the elaboration, discussion and approval of the Organic Law, for the effective implementation of local authorities.
For this context, he recalled that UNITA has a proposal from local authorities that is open to citizens’ contributions, this month, to then be compiled by a Technical working group, to have a law that represents the country’s different social fringes.
He said that, in general, the objectives set for the first day of work, with the purpose of greeting entities from the province of Huambo, were achieved, given the need to publicize the commission’s program.
During their stay in the province of Planalto Central, the deputies visited the Bishopric of the Archdiocese of Huambo, the provincial Synod of the Evangelical Congregational Church in Angola (IECA), the Seventh-day Adventist Church and Ombala of the Kingdom of Huambo.
The King of Huambo, Artur Moço, considered the visit of the deputies important, as they learned about the history of this court in the country’s Central Highlands.
Scheduled to end on Saturday (13), the agenda of the UNITA Commission of Deputies includes, among others, visits to the informal markets of Imalaia and Kapango, on the outskirts of the city of Huambo, consultations with trade union organizations and civil society and, at the end, a press conference.
