    GOVT OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA SUSPENDS OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN SEX SCANDAL

    GOVT OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA SUSPENDS OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN SEX SCANDAL Equatorial Guinea has suspended all officials who had sexual relations in the offices of ministries. Announcing the decision on Monday via social media, Teodoro Nguema, Equatorial Guinea’s vice-president, said the government would take “severe measures” against such acts. “Today, we will proceed with the immediate suspension of all officials who have had sexual relations in the offices of the country’s ministries,” the statement reads. “The Government will take severe measures against these acts, since it constitutes a flagrant violation of the Code of Conduct and the Public Ethics Law. “This action is a decisive step in our policy of zero tolerance towards behaviors that undermine the integrity of the public service. “Ethics and respect are fundamental in our administration, and we will not allow irresponsible behavior to compromise public trust. “Responsibility and professionalism must be the pillars of our work as servants of the State.” In a follow up post on Tuesday, the vice-president said the government would soon install surveillance cameras in all government offices. “We have taken this measure to ensure compliance with the law on public officials and to eradicate improper and illicit behaviour,” he said. “We will not admit any fault that denigrates the integrity of our administration and those who engage in these practices will face drastic measures.” BACKGROUND The Central African nation has been embroiled in a sex scandal since officials searched the home and office of Baltasar Ebang Engonga as part of an investigation into alleged fraud. Engonga is director general of the country’s Anti-graft National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF). Investigators reportedly uncovered about 400 explicit videos purportedly featuring the ANIF boss and multiple women. Among the discoveries were sex tapes of Engonga seemingly having romps with his brother’s wife, his cousin, the sister of the president of Equatorial Guinea, the wife of the director general of police, and about 20 wives of ministers, among others. The now viral videos were filmed in his office, hotels, and toilets — allegedly with the consent of participants. –

    US ELECTION: TRUMP LEADS HARRIS IN PENNSYLVANIA

    US ELECTION: TRUMP LEADS HARRIS IN PENNSYLVANIA Former President Donald Trump has closed the gap on Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, as the two candidates continue to battle it out for this year’s swing states. According to the latest New York Times-Siena College poll, conducted in partnership with the Philadelphia Inquirer between Oct. 24 and Nov. 2, Trump and Harris are tied at 48 percent apiece in the Keystone State. The poll, which surveyed 1,527 voters in Pennsylvania, has margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. The NYT-Siena College poll is top in FiveThirtyEight’s pollster rankings, which factor in historical accuracy and methodological transparency, and enjoys the lowest score in terms of bias and errors.

The latest poll from The New York Times and Siena College, one of the most accurate pollsters according to 538,…Harris has enjoyed an edge in all NYT-Siena polls of Pennsylvania since entering the race in late-July, her lead stretching to a commanding four points in the pollster’s previous survey. The latest poll, which was conducted in the days following Trump’s McDonalds photo-op in Bucks County on October 21, could therefore spell trouble for the vice president in this year’s most crucial battleground. Newsweek has reached out to the Trump and Harris campaigns for their reaction to the latest polling. With the election just days away, Pennsylvania’s 19 Electoral College votes make it a must-win swing state for both candidates, which would significantly increase their chances of securing the necessary 270 to win the White House.

With only days remaining before the election is over, both candidates are focusing their efforts on the…Other major polls indicate a similarly tight contest in the state, with the latest USA Today/Suffolk poll showing the pair neck and neck at 49 percent, while YouGov’s recent swing state survey showed Harris leading the former president 48 percent to 46. According to FiveThirtyEight’s own polling aggregate, Trump is leading Harris by 47.9 percent to 47.6, and has held onto an edge since Oct. 20. As a result, both candidates are devoting time to campaigning in Pennsylvania over the next two days. Trump will be holding rallies in Lititz, Reading and Pittsburgh, while Harris will be closing out her campaign with rallies in Allentown, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on Monday. Their running mates will be covering the remaining areas, JD Vance appearing in Aston on Sunday afternoon, followed by a rally in Newton on Monday. Meanwhile, Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen, will campaign in Wisconsin and Michigan on Monday before heading to Pennsylvania on Tuesday to mobilize voters in the election’s last hours. The other battlegrounds are edging toward Harris, according to the NYT-Siena poll, with the vice president grabbing narrow leads in Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Georgia, with Michigan tied and Trump maintaining his advantage in Arizona. “It has been decades since the polls have shown the nation facing a presidential race that is so close across so many states in both the Sun Belt and the Rust Belt,” The New York Times said of the latest results. “The tightly-contested landscape means the race remains highly uncertain as the campaign enters its final hours.”
