President Umaro Sissoco Embalo has announced the installation of surveillance cameras across the streets of Guinea-Bissau’s capital as part of efforts to curb corruption among traffic officers.

The initiative aims to address ongoing complaints from motorists regarding bribery and abuse of power by traffic officers, which have sparked widespread debates in the country’s transport sector.

President Embalo emphasized that officers caught engaging in corrupt practices will face arrest and prosecution, underscoring the government’s commitment to enforcing the rule of law and combating impunity.

This measure is expected to strengthen accountability and transparency while restoring public trust in the nation’s law enforcement institutions.
