Employees of the Brava City Council report irregular removal of products and materials from warehouses by the current President Francisco Tavares

City of Nova Sintra, December 22, 2024 (Bravanews) - In the last days of the term of office of the current president of the Brava City Council, Francisco Tavares, several city employees reported the removal of products and materials from municipal warehouses in an irregular manner and without any control or supervision. Tavares, who was also a candidate in the last elections, would have personally ordered the removal of goods, without the presence of those responsible for managing the municipality's assets.

The complaint, which is causing a great deal of repercussion on the island of Brava, indicates that the action was carried out without any type of inventory or verification of the quantities removed, which calls into question the transparency and legality of the municipal administration. According to the employees who preferred to remain anonymous, the process of removing the products occurred without those responsible for inspection and control of the goods being informed or consulted, which raises serious suspicions of irregularities.

In addition to the removal of the assets, the employees also revealed that the financial management of the City Council is in a critical situation. Resources that should be allocated to the municipality are being squandered, which makes the transition to the new administration difficult and leaves the next president in a difficult position to begin his term. This situation has caused great concern among the residents of Brava, who fear for the finances of the municipality and the future of the island.

In contact with Bravanews, the elected president, Amandio Brito, stated that he was aware of the situation and promised, as soon as he took office, to carry out a thorough inspection of both the assets and the finances of the City Council. Brito, who was elected to succeed Tavares, stated that he had already obtained information about the allegations, but assured that, instead of letting himself be carried away by complaints, his priority will be to work hard for the benefit of Brava. "I don't like complaints. My intention is to roll up my sleeves and do whatever is necessary to recover what was lost and put Brava on the path to development," he said.

Still, the new president made it clear that, in addition to a rigorous internal audit, he may contact the competent authorities if irregularities are confirmed. Brito emphasized that the population of Brava deserves transparent and efficient management, and that his administration will be committed to the correct application of public resources.

The situation has generated intense debate on the island, with many residents expressing distrust regarding the handling of the last days of Tavares' term. The expectation is that the new administration will be able to clarify all irregularities and, if necessary, take legal action to ensure that Brava continues to move forward, with resources well managed and focused on local development.
