The order comes after private videos leaked on social media appeared to show a senior finance ministry official having sex with several women in various places, including his office.

Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President, Teodoro Obiang Mangue, has issued a stern warning to public officials about office sex, saying that authorities will take “severe measures” against those caught in that act.

Authorities in Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday announced plans to install surveillance cameras in government offices, the latest in a string of actions taken in response to a scandal involving a government official who allegedly recorded hundreds of sex videos.
