The Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (KIP) has investigated allegations the Secretariat of State for Public Works (SEOP) acted improperly in commissioning emergency works projects in five districts.

A parliamentary inquiry is investigating claims that SEOP contravened laws in awarding emergency project contracts.

KIP president Inacio Moreira said the commission was formed last month.  

It was created specifically to look into the allegations that SEOP gave the go ahead on the projects in Viqueque, Lospalos, Same, Cova-Lima and Manatuto without a contract or an approved design.  

He said the results of KIP’s investigation would not be made public, as this was forbidden by law. 

Member of Parliament Aurelio Freitas Ribeiro said most MPs supported the investigation.  

“The Secretariat of State for Public Works sent the company to do this emergency work but there was no money for this as it was not included in the State General Budget,” he said.  

He said the lack of government control meant the project were of poor quality. 

Secretary of State for Public work Luis Vaz Rodrigues declined to comment.
