The General State Account (CGE) for 2021, presented by the Executive this week in Parliament, contains, according to the Administrative Court (TA) flaws that reflect the poor internal control of public accounts given poor auditing in state institutions.

In addition, the TA considers that the Government has neither heeded nor complied with the recommendations of the AR about the revenues and execution of state expenditures.

Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane said that the internal control system is undergoing a modernization process including permanent training for its technicians.

"By investing in the professionalization of human resources, we are creating conditions for them to raise their skills in the use of the functionalities of the various modules that make up the computer platform of the state's financial administration, abbreviated as E-SISTAFE," said the governor on Tuesday, quoted by Radio Mozambique.

The 2021 CGE indicates that state expenditures reached over three hundred and sixty billion meticais, representing about 32.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product.

As for the revenues collected by the state, an amount of over 265 billion meticais was reached, which corresponds to about 23.9 percent of GDP, the document says.
