Equatorial Guinea Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue on Tuesday wasn’t naming names but just said it: Too many government officials are using taxpayer time and property to fuck and it has to stop immediately, Reuters reports. “The executive is taking this decision following the videos of a sexual nature that have gone viral on social media in recent days and that denigrate the country’s image,” said the tiny West African country’s state information agency in a statement on the crisis.
It’s not clear why it’s the veep and not his boss, President Teodoro Obiang, speaking publicly about the crackdown, but it’d be hilarious if the job was handed to Mangue and he’s leading the anti-fucking in government offices task force as part of his vice presidential “portfolio,” kind of like the time Trump announced Mike Pence would lead the COVID-19 response so he could take the blame.
Anyway, the crackdown means increased security patrols in the buildings and more surveillance cameras to stop encounters that reportedly surfaced after a police raid on the home of a finance ministry official turned up hundreds of amateur porn clips of women who Reuters writes “appeared to include wives of other powerful government figures and other family members.” Yikes.
