Government Reads Riot Act to Civil servants Over Sexual Activity
The Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue has said Civil servants caught having sex in their offices will face “severe measures”.
The Vice president gave the warning to instill sanity in the office environment after hundreds of allegedly pornographic videos were leaked to the public.
The videos reportedly involve high-ranking civil servant Baltasar Ebang Engonga having sex with various women – including the wives of prominent officials – in his office.
Mr Engonga is head of the country’s National Financial Investigation Agency and also a relative of the country’s president.
Vice-President Teodoro Obiang Mangue said any officials found engaging in sex acts at work would be suspended as this was a “flagrant violation of the code of conduct”.
He also ordered the installation of surveillance cameras in courts and ministries to combat “indecent and illicit acts”.
A statement from the vice-president’s office said the decision had been taken in the wake of the widely circulated videos which had “denigrated the image of the country”.
