At least 20 judges have been expelled from the Mozambican judiciary over the past ten years for criminal behavior, mostly crimes of corruption.
"We have a policy of zero tolerance for cases of corruption', declared Carlos Mondlane, chairperson of the Mozambican Association of Judges on Monday, in statements to reporters during a meeting of judges in Maputo, held to discuss the ethical commitment of judges.
The number of expulsions, 20 in a decade, did not mean that there is a great deal of corruption in the Mozambican judiciary."We are not getting into the discourse of how there is a lot of corruption in the system', Mondlane said."Rather we recognize that the small amount of corruption that does exist meets a sharp response from the judicial system'.
