Renamo's leader and defeated candidate in last October's elections, Ossufo Momade, could receive more than 4 million meticais in reintegration allowances as a result of his party losing its status as the main and largest political grouping in the Assembly of the Republic..

With a status equivalent to that of a Deputy Minister, including a salary scale, now, when it's time to say goodbye to the Special Status of Leader of the Second Party with a Seat in Parliament and other perks, Ossufo Momade will receive a millionaire's reintegration allowance as provided for in Article 10 of Decree No. 28/2020 of May 8, which regulates Law 33/2014 of December 30, the law that grants special status to the leader of the second party with a parliamentary seat.

According to a Evidence newspaperBased on the amount paid at the end of the last mandate, it is believed that Ossufo Momade could receive more than four million meticais to reintegrate into society, a privilege enjoyed by senior state leaders.

In addition to Ossufo Momade, the government will have to subsidize the 22 ministers and their deputies and the 250 MPs.

It should be noted that the allowance for reintegration into social life is being paid to individuals who, during their time in office, already received a "fat" salary and had, in the case of the ministers and Ossufo Momade, practically all their expenses paid for, including a protocol car, 10,000 meticais just to buy credit, as well as fuel, medical assistance and medication, among other benefits.
