Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embaló has announced plans to install surveillance cameras across the streets of the capital, Bissau, as part of efforts to combat corruption among traffic officers.
The initiative responds to growing complaints from motorists about bribery and abuse of power by traffic officers, issues that have sparked widespread debates within the country’s transport sector.
President Embaló stressed that officers caught engaging in corrupt practices will face arrest and prosecution, reinforcing the government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ending impunity.
This measure aims to enhance accountability and transparency, restoring public trust in law enforcement and improving the overall efficiency of the nation’s traffic system.
