Zacarias Albano da Costa: ‘I will dismiss any of you who took photographs of the Pick-Up’
Date: 04 March 2010
Zacarias Albano da Costa, the current Foreign Minister of Timor-Leste, has threatened to dismiss staff that he suspected of involving in photographing the ministry’s vehicle found ransacked in Comorro riverbed last December 2009. The pictures of the broken vehicle were widely distributed throughout the internet and the incident was quoted by the media.
The revelation that the dented car was linked to the Minister’s own dispatch in which he authorised that the Ministry assumed full reasonability for repairing the vehicle, despite the fact that the Minister has full knowledge that a Ministry’s staff has driven the car outside of office hours and worst still – without any authorisation from superior within the Ministry. The Pickup was used to sneak out to Saturday's nightout parties.
The accident has become a controversial issue in which representatives at the National Parliament from Fretilin, Inacio Moreira and Rui Menezes from Democratic Party, each has voiced concern for the double standard adopted by the Foreign Minister Zacarias Albano da Costa for not imposing any administrative sanction against the staff found responsible, instead the Minister authorised that the vehicle be paid for out of the Ministry’s budget, through a ministerial dispatch. The MPs have also requested the Public Prosecutor to investigate the Minister for his involvement in the case.
Following a general staff meeting on 4 March 2010, Zacarias Albano da Costa has threatened to dismiss staff that he suspected of having photographed the vehicles despite not having any clear proof that the Ministry’s staff is involved.
This has clearly showed that the Minister does want his own corruption, collusion and nepotistic type of attitude be discovered by public and uses coercive and intimidatory attitude against his own staff to cover up his public fund mismanagement.
The case merits the attention of the Anti Corruption Commission to take full step to investigate the Minister.
