"The public administration suffers from this evil about the lack of ethics, every day we receive complaints in this aspect, we receive 8000 complaints every week for lack of ethics and integrity of the public administration", said the deputy inspector general of the IGAE, Nelson Domingos da Costa.
According to the official, on the basis of the regulation that governs the action of the IGAE, the organization has acted in the face of the complaints it registers, but, he noted, "it is a work that we still have to do".
"It is a continuity, we must not stop here, because the bad public administration is still sick, it is true, but we are in the fight to improve these aspects", said the leader.
Nelson Domingos da Costa was speaking, in Luanda, during a conference promoted by Ernest Young (EY) that addressed "Integrity, Ethics and Cybersecurity: Challenges and Opportunities".
The deputy inspector general of the IGAE, who was speaking on a panel on "integrity and ethics", also mentioned that the sector's work "is hard", because "the mentality has to be changed".
"And this is the great challenge", acknowledged the official, recalling that all State bodies are governed by a statute and within the statutes "the ethics of the official" is mirrored.
Integrity and ethics and cybersecurity were topics discussed at the meeting in two panels that included different actors from the Angolan public and private business sector linked to banking, telecommunications, oil and law.
