A major scandal involving high-ranking civil servants has prompted Equatorial Guinea to implement stringent workplace surveillance measures and conduct regulations. The controversy erupted following the leak of numerous allegedly explicit videos involving a senior government official, who heads the National Financial Investigation Agency.
The incident has triggered a comprehensive response from government leadership, including the announcement of severe penalties for civil servants engaging in inappropriate behavior, understand sexual misconduct, in government offices, including their suspension. The vice president has ordered the installation of surveillance systems throughout government buildings to prevent similar incidents.
The scandal has broader implications, leading to significant disruptions in national internet traffic, particularly affecting image downloads. The government has directed telecommunications companies to restrict the spread of related content on social media platforms.
The case has grown more complex with the involvement of the chief prosecutor, who has indicated potential public health charges depending on medical findings. The official at the center of the controversy, who was initially arrested on separate corruption charges, faces multiple investigations.
These developments have prompted a nationwide discussion about workplace conduct in government offices and the use of surveillance technology. The administration emphasizes these measures are necessary to protect the nation’s image and maintain professional standards in public service.
