Head of state says Moldova needs strong, pro-active, efficient Intelligence and Security Service
Chisinau, 19 February /MOLDPRES/ - President Maia Sandu and the presidential adviser for security issues, Secretary General of the Supreme Security Council Ana Revenco today participated in an enlarged meeting of the College of Moldova’s Intelligence and Security Service (SIS). The report on the work of SIS for 2020, as well as the priorities established for 2021 were presented at the meeting, the presidential press service has reported.
„The major threat to the state is the corruption, especially the high-level corruption – its makes Moldova poorer, more vulnerable and weaker. During time, SIS has been used in certain cases for the benefit of narrow interests, not in the national interest. I will not tolerate such approaches. And now, more than ever, it is necessary that we work to re-build the citizens’ trust in the state’s institutions,’’ President Maia Sandu said.
The head of state reiterated the position of principle as regards the institution’s reform, which she will support along with the team from the Presidency. ‘’I will repeat the message I have for all civil servants – you may find a support in me. Both I and my colleagues will support the institution’s reform, so that worthy and upright people are promoted and nobody oblige them to act contrary to the law. Moldova needs a strong, pro-active and efficient Intelligence Service,’’ Maia Sandu noted.
At the meeting, SIS director Alexandru Esaulenco said that, among the strategic goals of the institution for 2021, there is the combating of the corruption phenomenon, which undermines the national security, especially in the state institutions and the justice sector. Also, special attention will be paid to the offences of contraband in particularly large amounts, money laundering, embezzlement of public money, compromising investment projects from foreign funds, etc.
Attending the meeting were acting Prime Minister Aureliu Ciocoi, the head of the parliament’s commission for national security, defence and public order, Sergiu Sirbu, the College members, the heads of the SIS’ subdivisions.
The college represents the supreme body of control and management of this institution, which adopts the decisions on the most important problems of the Service and establishes the priority directions of the subdivisions’ work.
