The Government of the Republic of Guinea Equatorial has called for increased fiscal responsibility and stricter oversight in the management of companies contracted for the maintenance of public infrastructure. During a recent work session chaired by Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue, the administration reviewed the findings of the third phase of inspections conducted by the state verification commission. The inspection report, presented to President Obiang Mangue at the Presidential Palace in Malabo, revealed numerous irregularities, delays and financial discrepancies within several maintenance firms. Officials highlighted that these companies have failed to meet contractual obligations, leading to cost overruns and inefficient use of public funds. In response, the government has announced a series of corrective measures, including the temporary suspension of new contracts, the launch of a comprehensive audit program, and the implementation of stricter performance monitoring mechanisms. The initiative aims to ensure transparency, improve value for money, and safeguard public resources. The government also urged citizens to report any irregularities they observe in public works projects, emphasizing accountability and the need for a more disciplined fiscal approach across all state‑run enterprises.
