Opposition politicians say that in Angola there is no fight against corruption until companies linked to the MPLA itself are investigated.
UNITA deputy Joaquim Nafoia said that “the epicenter of corruption in Angola, cancer, the turntable of corruption is GEFI” – Management Company and Financial Participations, linked to the ruling party.
“All acts of theft, corruption and looting of public money go through GEFI, there is no strategic company in the country, with no connection to GEFI,” said Nafoia, who added that “as long as it is not properly investigated by an independent parliamentary committee or serious and credible judicial process, there is no fight against corruption in Angola ”.
Another deputy but independent, Makuta Nkondo, says that he does not believe that someone linked to corruption can fight himself.
“The example comes from above, we cannot say that the presidential couple is exactly poor, the President himself also ate with José Eduardo dos Santos and the Edwardians he accuses of being corrupt today were colleagues,” said Nkondo to whom even the current collaborators of the current President does not have a “clean slate”.
The economist linked to the PRS, Sapalo António, is of the same opinion stating that he understands that no corrupt person is going to fight himself.
VOA tried to contact some figures linked to the MPLA between deputies, university professors, and businessmen, but we were not attended to talk about this subject.
