Equatorial Guinea has slammed indefinite suspension on all officials involved in sexual activities on the premises of the country’s ministries.
This was announced by the country’s Vice President Teodoro Nguema on Monday via X (formerly Twitter).
He warned that the government would enforce stringent measure against such behavior.
The statement reads, “Today, we will proceed with the immediate suspension of all officials who have had sexual relations in the offices of the country’s ministries.
“The Government will take severe measures against these acts, since it constitutes a flagrant violation of the Code of Conduct and the Public Ethics Law.
“This action is a decisive step in our policy of zero tolerance towards behaviours that undermine the integrity of the public service.
“Ethics and respect are fundamental in our administration, and we will not allow irresponsible behaviour to compromise public trust.
“Responsibility and professionalism must be the pillars of our work as servants of the State.”
In a follow-up post on Tuesday, the vice-president said the government would soon implement the installation of surveillance cameras in all government offices.
He said, “We have taken this measure to ensure compliance with the law on public officials and to eradicate improper and illicit behaviour.
“We will not admit any fault that denigrates the integrity of our administration, and those who engage in these practices will face drastic measures.”
