We must not hesitate to act and take measures as lanterns for Mozambicans and as a guide for our people,\u201d said the leader of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo, in power since 1975), Daniel Chapo, who is also President of the Republic of Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>Chapo spoke on Monday in Maputo city, at the closing of the fourth meeting of the Verification Committee of the party\u2019s Central Committee, emphasising the role of these bodies in preserving the political and ideological line of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must be clear to all of us that without ethics, power degenerates; without discipline, the organisation collapses; and without credibility, Frelimo loses its reason for being. Therefore, we must work every day with focus on ethics and discipline,\u201d said Chapo, urging party members to show \u201cfirmness, courage, determination, calmness, responsibility, competence, commitment, and loyalty to the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Frelimo leader argued that internal discipline and adherence to ethical principles are essential to maintain public trust and the historical role of the party in leading the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people evaluate us. The people trust us\u2014or stop trusting us\u2014based on what we do, not what we say, because credibility is not proclaimed, it is built,\u201d Chapo declared.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the party\u2019s Verification Committees at all levels to be increasingly proactive in identifying and correcting any deviations from the ethical principles and values that define Frelimo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach member of the Verification Committee must be a vigilant guardian, a caretaker, and a staunch defender of the party\u2019s political and ideological line and the strategic vision of our leadership,\u201d added Daniel Chapo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
