Nyusi’s Government Attempted to Invoke TSU Law to Deny Payments and Protect Top Officials but Ended Up Contradicting Itself
The multimillion reintegration allowances for top officials remain a hot topic. Through a clarification note from the now-defunct Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), dated January 14, 2025, Filipe Nyusi’s outgoing government, whose term ended on January 15, attempted to quell the growing public outrage over these allowances.
However, instead of announcing measures to hold accountable those who authorized and received these payments, as demanded by society, the MEF limited itself to interpreting the TSU Law. This process exposed troubling contradictions and omissions, ultimately aiming to protect high-ranking officials.
