"The President of the Republic is the main face, the head of the system and the only holder of executive power. If deviations and systemic violations of the Constitution that seriously undermine the rule of law are practiced by the President of the Republic, then it is the President who needs to be held accountable and changed," said Liberty Chiaka.
The leader of the parliamentary group of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), who was reading the political declaration at the plenary meeting, said that "a gigantic budget deficit of 10 billion dollars" is expected, which "is not the result of no crisis in the world economy", as the Government would have you believe, but due to "political errors in internal management".
UNITA's parliamentary group accuses the President and his assistants of not observing the basic rules of budget execution, set out in the State General Budget law, because whoever violates the law "knows that he is not responsible".
According to Liberty Chiaka, the Minister of Finance publicly denounced that "there are unauthorized people who have access to the State's Integrated Financial Management System (SIGFE) and who do things they shouldn't".
"Very serious! The UNITA parliamentary group demands an audit of the system, the public debt, the AGT [General Tax Administration], the BCI [Bank of Commerce and Industry] sale process, an operation to squander the treasury", underlined Liberty Chiaka, stressing that "it is a general feeling that the Government has failed".
"To definitively correct what is wrong with the country, we have to go to the root of the problems, which is our governance system and culture, founded on the monolithic mentality and on the supremacy of a party-State", added.
According to the parliamentary leader of UNITA, "by changing the leadership of the State, the leadership of the Government also changes and the windows are opened to let fresh air into the Kremlin, fresh air to open minds, air the debate and reveal the contradictory to strengthening democracy, fresh air to train and promote new leaders with a new way of seeing and feeling Angola, founded on the legality and supremacy of the Constitution".
"Thus, the deconstruction of the autocratic regime will begin, because the removal of the President is not an end in itself, it is the first step to facilitate the deconstruction of the policies that led to the bankruptcy of the State", he pointed out.
Angola rejects "anything that is a coup d'état", continued Liberty Chiaka, "whether it is carried out by military violence, as is the case in Central and West Africa, whether it is carried out by electoral fraud, as has been the case in Southern Africa, or in any other way not envisaged or in accordance with the Constitution".
"To dismiss our President is not an act of humiliation or dishonor. On the contrary, it is an act of affirmation of the sovereignty of the people and the triumph of democracy. To dismiss the President of the Republic is an act of political maturity and patriotic courage. the President of the Republic is an act of ethical and moral greatness and human elevation", he said.
Chiaka also argued that dismissal to "correct what was wrong and improve what was good" is the most sublime demonstration that for leaders "Angola comes first" and "the Angolan is always at the center of political decisions".
