Analysts consider corruption in the Mozambican judiciary to be serious and indignant, because it lays bare the vulnerability of citizens. They advocate a profound reorganization of the state.

The spokesperson for the Central Office for Combating Corruption (GCCC), Romualdo Johnane, said that this institution, under the Attorney General's Office, registered more than one thousand and three hundred cases in the first six months of this year.

He mentioned that of the accused cases, three were magistrates from Maputo and Gaza provinces.

"This is serious and indignant, because the people who should be guardians of ethics, of social and moral values, are the ones who are being cited in these lawsuits," analyst Moisés Mabunda lamented to VOA.

Among those accused by the GCCC are police officers, which for Mabunda "is embarrassing and shows the vulnerability of Mozambicans, because, on the one hand, crime is on the rise, and on the other, those people who should be the defenders of the tranquility of Mozambicans, are the ones at the forefront of the citizens.

For journalist Luís Nhachote, when the GCCC admits corruption in the judiciary, it means that "we have an inverted pyramid problem and that we need to reorganize the state, we need to break it down and rebuild the buildings.

For his part, writer Laurindos Macuácua says that in Mozambique there is no class that can be considered the mirror of ethics and morals, giving as an example the figures that are being judged in the context of hidden debts.
