Former Mozambican Education Minister Alcídio Ngoenha has warned that corruption poses a significant threat to the nation’s development, labeling it a “poison” that could dismantle the “national project.” Ngoenha, a member of the ruling Frelimo party, advocated for the removal of individuals who tarnish the party’s reputation. He made these remarks at the conclusion of a national meeting of Frelimo cadres on Sunday. While details of the meeting were limited, Ngoenha’s statements underscore growing concerns about corruption within Mozambique. This sentiment suggests a potential internal effort within Frelimo to address the issue and restore public trust. His warning highlights the urgency of tackling corruption to ensure the success of Mozambique's national goals. The statement was reported by O País, a Mozambican news outlet.
