At the event, the deputy governor for the political, economic and social sectors, Alcida de Jesus Camateli Sandumbo, said it was necessary for the OGE's executors to properly manage the financial resources as they were registered, seeking methodological instruments capable of guaranteeing greater rationalization and objectivity in the application of public money.
