The Mozambican government will go to parliament on Wednesday and Thursday to answer questions from MPs about interventions in the state-owned companies Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique and Tmcel, as well as the financial situation of the Bank of Mozambique.

The topics are included in the questions addressed to the executive by the three benches of the Assembly of the Republic, for the meeting in the hemicycle over the next two days.

The parliamentary group of Frelimo, the party in power and with the majority of seats, wants to know "the scope of the interventions recently carried out in the public companies Tmcel [telecommunications] and Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique and the gains that are expected".

The majority group also wants information on the capacity of the South African company hired to support the management of the Mozambican flag carrier.

Frelimo also expects the executive to comment on the current state of the country's economic and social development, with a focus on roads and health.

For its part, Renamo, the main opposition party, will question the government on the sustainability of the state business sector and the executive's position on what it considers to be "unreliable accounts, promiscuous, incompetent and arbitrary supervision" by the Bank of Mozambique.

The main opposition party is also questioning the executive on the fight against the wave of kidnappings that has been affecting some Mozambican cities for some years and on the management of funds earmarked for the agricultural sector.

The Democratic Movement of Mozambique (MDM), the third party, will also ask the executive questions about the situation of the national airline and wants to know "the real reasons behind the nebulous business of Mozambique Airlines", in an allusion to the entry of a foreign entity into the management of the company.

The MDM also wants the government to provide information on "actions to minimize the prices of goods such as water, energy, public transport and basic necessities" in the face of the global inflationary wave.

Interventions aimed at rebuilding education, health and road infrastructures affected by the natural disasters, as well as correcting the "extremely serious errors and deficient distribution of school books" are also on the list of issues raised by the third parliamentary group. (Lusa)
