Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Angola’s Interior Minister assured today that there is no room and \u201cnor will there be tolerance for illegality\u201d in the Angolan Migration and Foreigners Service (SME), where there are those who sell \u201cfalse promises\u201d of entry into the institution.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot ignore a difficult but necessary truth, because there are still those within us who try to divert the course of legality, selling promises of entry [into the SME] through parallel channels, opening doors through illicit means and feeding false hopes\u201d, stated Manuel Homem today.<\/p>\n

To people who \u201cinsist on illegality\u201d, the governor assured: \u201cThere is no room and there will be no tolerance for illegality.<\/p>\n

Anyone who insists on tarnishing the good name of this institution will be held accountable under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manuel Homem, who presided over the ceremony this Saturday to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the SME and the closing of the second basic entry course to the SME, in the Angolan province of Icolo e Bengo, also defended the reinforcement of mechanisms for the control and supervision of foreigners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must strengthen internal control mechanisms and greater oversight of the services of foreigners residing in our territory and be relentless with those who insist on living in our country illegally,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He asked SME staff to pay attention to crimes involving foreign citizens in Angola, \u201cmany of them in an illegal migration situation, in addition to practices that jeopardize the well-being of citizens and the customs and traditions of the Angolan people\u201d.<\/p>\n

He considered that the control of migratory flows in Angola must be based on international norms and treaties and human rights, observing the principles of patriotism, \u201calways placing first\u201d the responsibility for defending the country\u2019s territorial integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that the challenges are great and we have needs at a technical, logistical and technological level to provide adequate responses, which constitutes a difficulty with a direct impact on our mission\u201d, he stressed.<\/p>\n

The Angolan official also said that “important steps” are being taken to improve the SME service, namely with the signing of an agreement to implement the biometric system to control migratory traffic.<\/p>\n

The materialization of the new technological solution for the implementation of the electronic passport, \u201cwhich will revolutionize the digitalization of services, modernize systems and processes, reduce waiting times and put an end to the receipt of paper processes when issuing passports, as well as increasing information security\u201d, are also among the actions.<\/p>\n

At least 3,120 candidates completed the second basic entry course to the SME and officially joined the institution’s staff today, a course that was suspended at the end of last December due to \u201cirregularities\u201d detected by the authorities.<\/p>\n

Initially, the course had 5,600 students, but after being screened, in a process that led to the arrest, at the end of last January, of the director of the office of the general director of the SME and the head of the Human Resources department of the same body, for alleged crimes of criminal association, undue receipt of advantage, passive corruption and others, 2,480 candidates were excluded.<\/p>\n

Today, the general director of SME, Jose\u0301 Coimbra Ju\u0301nior, said, during the ceremony, that only 3,120 candidates were selected and admitted because the rest had low grades, criminal records, involvement in drug trafficking, pathological disorders and false documents and qualifications.<\/p>\n

The course of suspension and resumption of the aforementioned course was recalled, on the occasion, by the Minister of the Interior, highlighting that the entry of staff into the ministerial body that oversees him must \u201cunquestionably\u201d comply with legality, justice and institutional dignity.<\/p>\n
