The effects of corruption on the Timorese economy will be one of the topics to be discussed Wednesday and Thursday at an international conference in Dili on this type of crime, considered an "obstacle" to the country's development.
The international conference is organized Parliament, with support from the Asia Foundation is considered to be useful for different sensitivities heard by Lusa, but not free from criticism.
The committee chairman of Economy and Finance (Committee C), Manuel Tilman, Kota party, considers that " Corruption is the biggest obstacle to national development. "
"How do you combat the phenomenon? Through prevention and conferences such as this help to raise awareness in society. Moreover, the cases must be investigated and sent to court for trial because the mischief must be held accountable, "said one parliamentarian.
Manuel Tilman gives as an example of an area where there is evidence to investigate the importation of rice, "the State spends millions with the allowance of rice and that there is enrichment of half a dozen families in this business. "
Congressman defends the opportunity of the conference, but Vital dos Santos, the Democratic Party believes that it should be organized by the Anti-Corruption Commission, on pain of being inconsistent.
"All we can talk about the problems of corruption, but in practice there is no concrete results. Should be promoted by the CAC, which has information and research skills in order to act in light of the conclusions, "he argued.
Domingos Sarmento, Fretilin, is "quite favorable to the conference to be discussed how to conduct preventive action against the corruption problems that exist in the country. "
One of the largest parliamentary opposition party adds that "not enough to talk a lot about corruption, it is necessary to strengthen the institutions involved in combating such practices."
"The Government should strengthen the Ministry public, the Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice and Anti-Corruption Commission itself, in order to carry out concrete actions, "he said.
Timorese Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, elected the anti-corruption and transparency as a priority of his government, having forward with legislation that recently came to create the CAC, chaired by Aderito de Jesus Soares.
The Deputy Prime Minister Mario Carrascalao came also proposing a "Strategic Plan to Fight Corruption", predicting the extent of the political declaration of assets and senior state and a memorandum with neighboring countries to prevent money laundering.
"Currently, it is unclear what the nature, depth, cost and consequences of corruption. No figures or even approximate, but what is known is that there is corruption and undermines the international image of East Timor, "he said.
