After heated debates between MPs and members of ERCA, the president of the Regulatory Entity for Mass Media in Angola, Adelino de Almeida, told the press, at the end of the meeting, that the report of the institution's activities is exclusively in regard to the supervision of Mass Media, and that the National Assembly advises that a financial execution report also be submitted to MPs, a requirement that ERCA will comply with.

Adelino de Almeida said that his institution received a financial allocation from the State in 2019 and that it is an integral part of the budget of the National Assembly.

"All budget allocations of the National Assembly (AN) have a chapter that concerns the functioning of ERCA", he stressed, adding that the amount the institution receives from the National Assembly is not enough, which is why they have not installed several ERCA branches yet.

In the report presented last Tuesday to the MPs of the 7th Committee on Culture, Religious Affairs, Mss Media and Youth and Sports, he highlighted the regular visit made by members of his institution to all provinces of the country, in the scope of preparing the allocation of the portfolio which led to its approval as well as the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
