The Secretary-General of the Assembly of the Republic, António Mahumane, met with parliamentary staff and agents on Monday, 9 November, in Maputo to clarify procedures related to the phased resumption of administrative acts in the public service, focusing on promotions, progressions, and career changes.
During the meeting, Mahumane highlighted that the resumption of these acts stems from a commitment made by the President of the Republic during the electoral campaign of 2024 and reaffirmed in February 2025 following the establishment of the new government.
He explained that this process will commence in 2026 and aims to gradually address outstanding administrative matters within State institutions, including the Assembly of the Republic. The suspension of these acts began in 2022 due to challenges associated with implementing the Unique Salary Table (TSU) and budget constraints.
Mahumane asserted that the resumption is a significant step towards valuing human resources within the public administration, as it contributes to staff recognition, enhances performance, and improves the quality of services delivered.
Data presented by the Human Resources Division indicate that the phased resumption will encompass staff within salary levels 1 to 11, provided they meet the conditions specified in paragraph 2 of Article 11 of Decree No. 36/2025, dated 28 October.
The criteria for progression include a minimum of two years of effective service at the current level, a performance evaluation of at least ‘satisfactory’ over the past two years, potential evaluation, and available budgetary capacity.
Potential evaluation considers various factors, including years of service in the public administration, career and salary level, academic qualifications, non-formal training, and professional performance.
The TSU delineates a salary structure comprising 21 levels, each divided into three categories: C, B, and A.
In the same meeting, Mahumane welcomed new staff and agents who have joined the technical team of the Assembly through processes of mobility, temporary assignment, and recruitment. He urged a reinforcement of team spirit, institutional cohesion, and commitment to the responsibilities of providing technical and administrative support for parliamentary activities.
This meeting is part of the General Secretariat’s efforts to enhance institutional communication and ensure that staff are adequately informed about decisions and measures affecting their professional circumstances.
