According to the resolution approved at the end of the extraordinary general meeting and read by Arlete Luyele, president of the Northern Regional Council of the Ordem dos Médicos, in addition to the dismissal, it was also decided to create a commission of inquiry to analyze the irregularities and promote an independent audit.
Elisa Gaspar, who has served as president of ORMED for more than a year, is accused of "misappropriation of funds and harmful management" of the institution, including an alleged diversion of 19 million kwanzas, and "other unjustified expenses", which led to the convening of the extraordinary general meeting whose sole point was the dismissal of the president.
After analyzing the facts and circumstances presented, the assembly decided to dismiss the president, with immediate effect, and to set up a management commission that will be responsible for dealing with current affairs and promoting new elections in 90 days.
It was also decided to create a commission of inquiry that will be responsible for analyzing the non-conformities presented and conducting an independent audit by an external body to the Order's accounts.
53 physicians participated in the extraordinary general meeting, in person, and another 408, virtually, through the Zoom platform.
When the assembly was called, in September, associates express their displeasure with the performance of Elisa Gaspar, which has been sharpened "with the recent occurrences", such as non-alignment with class interests, lack of transparency in the management of resources of the Order and in the presentation of the accounts, and reports of financial mismanagement. The president has denied all charges.
The doctors also showed discontent after the president demarcated himself from the march called by the national union (SINMEA) in honor of Sílvio Dala, a pediatrician who died in early September following a police intervention, and which brought together hundreds of health professionals and elements of civil society in Luanda.
