for the 1st time the current president talks about the one that leaks in an exclusive interview with g w. the academy that's teaching people to build and fly drones it's the continent's 1st we'll tell you why it's in malawi. comes to africa it's good to have you have. the president often. has told he's country is facing and president an opportunity for change in the wake off corruption allegations against the former president's daughter the billionaire isabel dos santos is accused of stealing hundreds of millions in public funds while head off the state run oil company in angola the allegations were published by

a team of investigative journalists insists she's the target of a smear campaign. ad to increase set down with and go in as president for what is the 1st interview on the scandal and began by asking about rumors that those santos is negotiating a deal to pay back part of the allegedly stolen money. as infamous or strong pouring from the. most information is unfounded. we would like to make clear that there are no negotiations. or. there will be no negotiations and there was an opportunity to do so. the very people who were the golden knights of corruption benefited from a 6 month period of grace to return our suits they took illegally out of the

country. those who haven't used that chance would not be responsible for any consequences that may result. this winter. now the documents that were leaked were quite clear do you want to see her behind bars. preferred not to answer that it's a judicial matter and i'm not a judge of any of the documents indicate that some of the deals happened with the knowledge that sometimes on the orders of the former president for example presidential decrease to give undervalued lands to isabelle's companies why don't you go after the former president you must know what legislation what do you mean by that. i could go to the former president for at least 5 years after they finished. but would you consider going after him after that time. the justice system not politicians it indicts people. it's the justice system that

investigates possible crimes. the mission of politicians is to design policies ensuring that the justice system can be. within its competence is. the. president doesn't send people to cool it open i wouldn't even have time for that there are many cases in the country in. a position of representatives that basically saying the justice system is not as independent as you are saying that it is very well controlled by the government was the response to that that we force. that may have been the case in the past that it's not today. if you today they have the absolute liberty to act. now it's the reason why there are so many trials he was here but if you particularly related to corruption. now you served as the secretary general of the m.p.l. as a defense minister as well you knew the former president very well worked under him

for a very long time why didn't you bring all these criticism up during that time. now . that i've worked under president. bush. we all did but if you. think he stayed in power for almost 40 years. no one can say he or she was not part of the system. but it's just that we were all part of the system. against those who are in a better position to correct what is wrong. and improve what is good. of those who know the system from with it is who they were then but then you must have seen that is a very corrupt system because this is what the documents now show us and that's what even no investigations meant the proof as she did along with this is that it is precisely because i've seen these high levels of corruption. and because i think

that the situation should not continue. that we are fighting what we have seen for decades but there are groups along with that of a force. that is. comfortable for us to leave things as they were before. but it would not be correct. that is. we've now got a chance for change women and this is the right time to do it when we know it demands a lot of courage and we face some resistance we would rather fight that resistance and that i don't leave things as they were before to move the nation that's all it increased speaking exclusively to the president now how do you get medicines to remote places inaccessible by road how do you monitor crops how can you map outbreaks off disease now more and more people are tuning to drop the pilotless

it materials we provided all these materials in the in hope about then i followed all the procedures until i make distraught at africa's 1st drone academy students also learn how to collect and analyze data from the drones with the skills they might soon be able to save lives drones are becoming reliable and affordable and so they used to reach isolated communities is on the rise throughout the continent they already served to fight malaria deliver medical supplies and money to crops that's why he believes drones are key to development after trying to teach my people my. i also have an aerospace club so i'm trying to transfer this knowledge to the. student. payloads in my country i mean for you know always in my in the sky the future looks bright for the new generation of
