GOVERNMENT REVIEWER

Opinion: Yes, I agree with the score and have no comments to add.

PEER REVIEWER

Opinion: No, I do not agree with the score.

Comments: The Balanco Semestral do PES (January to June, 2013) indicated above is a mid-year review of the Economic and Social Plan ofthe Government. This document was available on time (September 9, 2013) but it is not a mid-year review of the budget. Some of theelements of the mid-year review of the budget are presented in the budget execution report of the second quarter (REO Jan to Jun, 2013).Other relevant law is the Law 26/2009 that regulates the Section of the Administrative Tribunal in charge of auditing public revenue andexpenditure (equivalent to the Supreme Audit Institution, SAI). The attachments should also include the 2014 budget proposal, the budgetexecution report of the first quarter 2014 and the audit report of the SAI for the 2012 year-end financial statements report.

RESEARCHER'S RESPONSE

The 2013 budget review was published in the Boletim da República (official gazette) through Law No. 21/2013 of 30 October(http://www.dno.gov.mz/docs/OE2013_REVISAO/Lei_21_2013_30Out_OE2013_Revisto.pdf). The report on the Implementation of the StateBudget (Jan-Jun 2013) substantiates the proposal in budgetary terms, which serves as a supporting budget document for the budgetreview proposal presented as an amending budget.

Comments: There are no relevant laws regulating access to information, transparency and citizens participation. The new law on publicaccess to information which forces public agencies and private entities that develop activities in the public interest to provide informationwhen requested by citizens, was only approved by November 2014. The SISTAFE Law 9/2012 guides public financial management.


The approval of the first Multiparty Constitution in November 1990 confirmed the already suspected reformist pretenses. Hence, therewas the need to renegotiate the State in order to bring it closer to the citizen through the approval of legal packages which allow the

participation of these (citizens) in governance. One of the first steps was the approval of Law 8/91 in 1991 (Law on associations) and Law18/91 (the law on the Freedom of the Press). Despite pertinent, these two legal provisions were not able to allow the citizens to haveaccess to public interest information in an individual or collective way and in a timely manner, meaning that the access to sources ofinformation were and still are one of the main challenges for the civil society organizations. In a more general legislation scope, theConstitution of the Republic of Mozambique (CRM, 2004) clarifies, in number 1 of article 253, that The citizens have the right to beinformed by the Public Administration competent services regarding the progress of the procedures in which they are directly interestedin the terms of the law, whenever they wish to. Number 2 of article 263 reveals, in a specific way, that 'In its functioning, the Local StateBodies, by promoting the use of the available recourses, they guarantee the active participation of the citizens and encourage the localinitiative in the resolution of the problems of the community. Regarding the latter (Local State Bodies), Law 8/2003 was approved and itsrespective regulation approved by decree 11/2005. Thus, Law 8/2003 confers the main principles when referring that participating,obtaining information and even monitoring the activities of the local bodies in which the budgeting activity and public spending is insertedis a right of the citizens, of the community and of the organizations. That is clear in articles 3 and 5. A aprovação da primeira ConstituiçãoMultipartidária em Novembro de 1990, confirmou as pretensões reformistas que já se adivinhavam. Dai que passou a sentir-se anecessidade de renegociar o Estado de modo a torná-lo mais próximo do cidadão através da aprovação de pacotes legais permissivos aparticipação destes (cidadãos) na governação. Um dos primeiros passos foi a aprovação em 1991 da Lei 8/91 (a Lei das associações) e a Lei18/91 (a Lei sobre a Liberdade de Imprensa). Estes dois dispositivos legais, apesar de pertinentes, não foram capazes de permitir com queos cidadãos de forma individual ou colectiva tivessem acesso de forma atempada à informação de interesse público, ou seja, o acesso àsfontes de informação continuavam e continuam sendo um dos principais desafios para as organizações da sociedade civil. No âmbiro dalegislação mais geral, a Constituição da República de Moçambique (CRM, 2004), esclarece no número 1 do artigo 253 que Os cidadãos têmo direito de serem informados pelos serviços competentes da Administração Pública sempre querequeiram sobre o andamento dosprocessos em que estejam directamente interessados nos termos da lei. O número 2 do artigo 263 revela, de forma específica, que Noseu funcionamento os Órgãos Locais do Estado, promovendo a utilização dos recursos disponíveis, garantem a participação activa doscidadãos e incentivam a iniciativa local na solução dos problemas das comunidades. A despeito deste último (Órgaos Locais do Estado), foiaprovada a Lei 8/2003 e o seu respectivo regulamento aprovado pelo decreto 11/2005. Assim, a Lei 8/2003 confere os princípios gerais aoreferir que é um direito dos cidadãos, da comunidade e das associações participar, obter informação e até monitorar as actividades dosórgãos locais, onde se insere a actvidade de orçamentação e despesa pública. Isto é evidente nos artigos 3, 5.

Comments: None of the three core components were included in the 2014 budget proposal, although the budget law (Art. 11) set themaximum guarantee that was authorized for the year. There is no quantitative estimate of the current liabilities nor an assessment of thelikelihood of the contingencies occurring. Thus, very little information related to contingent liabilities is presented, and it excludes all threecore components. This is a major issue in Mozambique as, in 2013, the State issued a public guarantee for USD 850 million that was lateron reduced to USD 500 million (USD 350 million where incorporated in 2014 budget for being considered quasi-fiscal activities). Thisguarantee was well above the limit authorized by law.

Comments: The narrative included in the budget proposal (page 13 and 22, table 5) only provides for the annual amount of theearmarked revenue in nominal terms and in percentage of GDP, and does not discuss the earmarks.


The answer must be A, in the supporting budget document there is a narrative justifying the registered amounts. It may not be thoroughbut there is an interpretation of table 5, mainly in page 22. For example, in Page 22 the government justifies the raise verified in thecurrent revenue group, the fiscal revenues, an increase in 2, 2 pp to the 2013 GDP as being a contribution made by the corporations (IRPC)and of the income tax of capital gains coming from the sale of shares from multinational corporations, corresponding to the sale of 20% ofArea 4 of the Bacia do Rovuma of the natural gas reserves. A resposta deve ser A, no documento fundamentação existe uma narrativajustificando os valores inscritos. Poderá não ser exaustiva mas existe uma intepretação da tabela 5, principlamente na página 22. Porexemplo na Pagina 22 o governo justifica que o aumento verificado no grupo das Receitas Correntes, as Receitas Fiscais, um incrementoem2,2pp face ao PIB de 2013 como sendo uma contribuição feita pelas empresas (IRPC) e da tributação do rendimento de mais-valiasprovenientes da venda de acções de empresas multinacionais, correspondente a alienação de 20% da Área 4 da Bacia do Rovuma dereservas de gás natural.

GOVERNMENT REVIEWER


PEER REVIEWER


Comments: Although the most recent supplemental budget was approved before the funds were payed, it is difficult to confirm that thiswas done before the funds were executed, specially if we consider as "executed" the public goods and services effectively provided. This isbecause Mozambique does not register commitment and verification on real time. These registers are only made when payments are tobe done. This lack of transparency might create a situation where expenditures are done in real world but not registered in the system (e-SISTAFE), and thus, a supplementary budget or a budget of the following year is used to cover expenditures that, in practice, are alreadydone. However, the magnitude of this problem is unknown (not quantified).
