According to the president of the parliamentary group of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), Liberty Chiyaka, "Angolans are concerned" because "the Government is not governing and is without a governance agenda".
"The Government's agenda is to combat the leader of UNITA," accused the deputy of the "Black Cock" party in a political statement at the opening of the seventh extraordinary plenary session of the fourth legislative session of the fourth parliamentary parliament.
"Our Government cannot even have a plan for cleaning up our capital city that we love so much, with huge outbreaks of garbage, on the streets, sidewalks and parking lots, but it does have a plan to accommodate those who offer to demonize the leader of UNITA", said.
Adalberto Costa Júnior, president of UNITA, has been the target of several accusations in the media and on social networks, following public positions by alleged militants of this party.
The deputies discussed and approved several legal diplomas this Wednesday, in a session in which a member appointed by UNITA, Lourenço Bento António, was also sworn in for the Regulatory Entity of the Angolan Social Communication (ERCA).
Liberty Chiyaka welcomed the inauguration of the new member of ERCA and praised the role that is being played by the Portfolio and Ethics Committee of Journalists, but called on the two entities to "reflect deeply on the regression of press freedom".
"Plurality and respect for the contradictory. Angola has deviated from the path and is moving towards a new Republic that is not democratic", he underlined.
In an eminently "pan-Africanist" intervention, following the celebrations of the Southern African Liberation Day, marked on Tuesday, Chiyaka presented his vision of a developed, democratic, prosperous and respected Africa.
For the parliamentary leader of UNITA, African leaders "failed" and "Africa failed, colonialism was replaced by authoritarianism, the subjugation of peoples was replaced by the corruption of elites".
The purposes of the struggles for independence in Africa, the challenges of Angola, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Union were also highlighted by the UNITA politician.
The deputy recalled that Africa fought for democracy, political and legal equality, full exercise of citizenship, for the sovereignty of peoples, but today hunger, poverty, authoritarianism, social injustice, racism, tribalism, among others, rage across the continent.
Strong democratic institutions, quality infrastructures, awareness of temporary public service and continuity of State action, work culture, rigor, excellence, research, democracy, respect for the rule of law and good governance were pointed out by the politician as some of the " pillars for sustainable development "in Africa.
"Africa needs leaders with human sensitivity (...). Without human sensitivity you cannot govern, Africa needs leaders who govern and not leaders who manage power, it needs leaders with vision, integrity, moral and ethical greatness" , he defended.
"We have everything to make our dreams come true, the postponed dreams", said Chiyaka, considering that the African continent, with a mostly young people and potentially rich subsoil, "needs to be reborn".
"That is why our appeal to the African Union:" Let us transform the union of heads of state into the union of the African peoples, therefore a true community ", he concluded.
