2014-07-15 REVISION OF THE PENAL CODE IN MOZAMBIQUE The Mozambique criminal code, which sets out punishments for crimes, will be revised after 120 years in existence. Members of the Assembly of the Republic of Mozambique unanimously approved acclaim and ultimately, the revision of the Penal Code. Speaking to reporters at the end of the approval, the President of the Commission on Constitutional Affairs, Human Rights and Legality, Teodoro Waty, said there was four years of demanding work but expressed satisfaction. Sometimes we had to work in our homes during the week-ends. Every time we produced many other proposals wills disagreed. I am satisfied. Drove a competent team, he said. In turn, the President of the Assembly of the Republic of Mozambique, Veronica Macamo said that the most important at the end of all is not the Revised Penal Code itself, but that Mozambique does not have men and women offenders. Drunkenness, prostitution and begging are no longer criminalized under the new code.
