Luanda — Ten Courts for Minors will be built next year, in the framework of the Government's National Plan for 2009, announced Monday the Angolan Justice minister, Guilhermina Prata.
The minister said so when responding to questions made by MPs, at the National Assembly, during the discussion by specialty about the National Plan and the State's General Budget for the coming year.
According to the government official, the Justice Ministry, in co-ordination with the Welfare and Social Reintegration Ministry, has already opened the public tender for the construction of the mentioned courts.
Guilhermina Prata also told MPs that her department intends to turn the provincial courts of Bié, Namibe, Kuando Kubango, Kwanza Norte, Zaire and Huíla into budgetary units, as a starting point for them to become financially autonomous.
She revealed that eleven provincial courts are already functioning as budgetary units since 2007.
Meanwhile, the National Plan and State's General Budget for 2009 received unanimous vote at the specialty commission from 23 MPs.
