Mozambican minister advocates for greater control in social security after corruption cases

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 21:32

The Mozambican Minister of Labour, Ivete Alane, today advocated for strengthening the control mechanisms of the National Social Security Institute (INSS) to prevent fraud, corruption and misuse of funds. Her statements come after accusations of misuse of funds in the institution.

Ivete Alane emphasized the need to implement stricter oversight measures to protect social security resources. The strengthening of controls aims to guarantee transparency in the management of funds intended for Mozambican workers.

The minister indicated that these measures come in the context of efforts to restore public trust in the country's social security system, after the scandals that became public.

Why this matters

Mozambican workers depend on the social security system for their pensions and benefits, so corruption cases in this sector can directly affect the financial future of thousands of people. The minister's position comes following concrete accusations of misuse of funds, signaling a possible reformulation of the INSS supervision systems.
