In this third edition, the Public Integrity Center presents the cases of two well-known figures in the national political scene, namely deputies Manuel Tomé and Mateus Kathupa – who simultaneously hold the public positions of Administrator of the Hydroelectric Power Plant of Cahora Bassa (HCB) and PCA of Petromoc, SA, respectively.
