Mozambique has not seen improvements in the Transparency International (TI) corruption index. Once again, after falling by about four (4) places last year, this year it has dropped another two (2) places in the TI index, which means that in two years it has dropped 6 places in the score (position), which had never happened since this index began to be produced and published in 1995, which, given its prestige, places the country at an international level in a position that discredits it.
This sharp fall in Mozambique cannot be unrelated to matters related to illegal debts contracted at the consulate of former president, Armando Guebuza, but under President Filipe Nyusi's current government, the contours that led to his hiring are still unclear. According to civil society, cooperation partners and the Bretton Woods institutions (namely the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund), this will only be achieved with the criminal accountability of those involved and not with the mere attempt at administrative accountability that is being tried/ engendered with the intermediation of the Attorney General's Office (PGR). As is well known, the PGR sent a complaint to the Administrative Court about the existence of infractions of a financial nature in this intricate process.
