STAE was to pay Omar 88.225 million meticais (about 1.4 million US dollars, at the current exchange rate).<\/p>\n<p>This was an exorbitant, and possibly corrupt sum. Critics were quick to point out that it would have been cheaper to buy the cars outright.<\/p>\n<p>A source in the Ministry cited by the independent newssheet \u201cCarta de Mocambique\u201d, said \u201cThe Cabo Delgado STAE has been notified to cancel the award. We recommend that, if there is money in the budget for this purpose, a new process for acquiring vehicles be initiated, under the Public Hiring Regulations, and within the limits established for acquiring vehicles\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A Ministry team has been formed to analyse on the ground the contracting procedures used by the Cabo Delgado branch of STAE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarta de Mocambique\u201d suggests that the order to cancel the award came from the Minister of Economy and Finance himself, Max Tonela.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry\u2019s order may have come too late, since there are reports that much of the money has already been spent.<\/p>\n<p>STAE has struck similar deals in other provinces, but it is not yet clear how much money these involve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/PauloAlculeteAraujo\/posts\/pfbid02zecaKsEBd4YjWTDXPUSyPAXkqFi3DBsWqzSm7NjoocExzRzFgyQJ5FMt6ioCipETl\"><b>Facebook Post click here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
