Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM) has urged President Nyusi to dismiss Adriano Maleiane for the perceived inconsistencies in the implementation of the Single Salary Table (TSU), a project conceived when the current Prime Minister was serving as Minister of Finance.<\/p>\n \u201cThe MDM urges the President of the Republic to exonerate the \u2018Father of the TSU\u2019, current Prime-Minister and previous Minister of Finance Adriano Maleiane, or that he himself resigns, considering the consequences of his actions on civil servants and the Mozambican people. There is an urgent need for political consequences from this act, which does nothing to honour our public administration,\u201d MDM spokesperson Ismael Nacute\u0301 told a press conference on Wednesday (11-01), one day after the government revealed its intention to lower the salaries of senior officials..<\/p>\n The MDM, said Nacute\u0301, would impress upon the Head of State that any change in the salaries of the sovereign bodies office holders, ministers, deputies, judges and others in positions of leadership and trust, must in no way jeopardize the amounts already approved for employees and agents of the state.<\/p>\n From the perspective of the MDM, there are already too many setbacks in the implementation of the TSU and, therefore, \u201cthis funereal silence of the Head of State is incomprehensible, in the face of such imprudence, irresponsibility and incompetence committed by the then Minister of Finance\u201d.<\/p>\n For the third-largest party in the country, the setbacks reveal a financial inability to properly implement the TSU, despite \u201cthe government, through the then Minister of Finance, having given guarantees of budgetary appropriation [to the amount of 19 billion meticais] and of TSU implementation management capacity\u201d.<\/p>\n In addition to setbacks in the implementation of the TSU, the MDM criticized the delay in establishing the Sovereign Wealth Fund, taking into account that the country started exporting gas last year. In the meantime, Nacute\u0301 said, no progress had been made in the sense of quickly setting up the sovereign fund so as to ensure the country\u2019s resource revenues were not diverted from its development objectives.<\/p>\n \u201cTherefore, the funds coming from natural resources will continue filling the pockets of the members of the dominant party, rather than creating conditions for future generations to enjoy better living conditions based on sustainable and responsible development, which generates jobs and fairer wealth distribution mechanisms with strong investment in social sectors such as education and health,\u201d Nacute\u0301 concluded.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Mozambique<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Evaristo Chilingue Africa-Press – Mozambique.
