Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican government has still not paid four months of compensation to transport operators, intended to soften the impact of fuel prices, reports Monday\u2019s issue of the independent daily \u201cO Pais\u201d.<\/p>\n

The debt is for the last four months of 2022, and the Metropolitan Transport Agency (AMT) had promised to clear the debt by January.<\/p>\n

Indeed, on 12 January the AMT Chairperson, Antonio Matos, was filmed promising that by the end of the month the debt would be paid. But the promise was not kept, and in mid-April, the transport operators are still waiting for their money.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the Mozambican Federation of Road Transport Associations (FEMATRO), Castigo Nhamane, said he has maintained contact with the AMT and with the Transport Ministry. There have always been promises of payment, but no money has been handed over.<\/p>\n

Last week, said Nhamane, \u201cwe were told it was just a procedural question, that the transfer has been made and that at any moment, the sum will be available to start paying the transport operators\u201d.<\/p>\n

The lack of payment, he stressed, is damaging the transport companies. \u201cThere are fewer buses on the roads\u201d, Nhemane pointed out. \u201cThat\u2019s because the operators are reducing the number of vehicles they put on the roads. In some cases, the buses are out of order, and the operators don\u2019t have the money to repair them. In other cases, they don\u2019t have enough fuel. There are also buses which only operate during the rush hour, and then just for a short period\u201d.<\/p>\n

An AMT spokesperson said the Agency is in \u201cpermanent contact\u201d with FEMATRO, and guaranteed that the debt would be paid \u201cvery soon\u201d.<\/p>\n
