Speaking to the press in the city of Saurimo, at the end of the first visit to the bodies that make up the justice sector in Lunda Sul province, he reinforced that the purpose of this extension is to “give voice to communities and bring services closer together”.
The official underlined that, for this purpose, the training of trainers and technicians who will ensure its operation, in partnership with the counterpart in Norway, is in the portfolio.

As for the works in progress for the future installation of the Justice and Human Rights delegation in Saurimo, which began in 2012 and were paralyzed years later due to lack of funds, he said that this is a subject that will deserve special attention from the Ministry and the Provincial Government.
