A former Agribusdev manager, who was stationed at Ndonga Linena Irrigation project, was denied bail last Friday after appearing in the Rundu Magistrate’s Court on allegations of corruption having embezzled over N$ 1 million.
The suspect, Titus Andreas, remains in custody. Andreas was arrested last week Wednesday by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). His case was remanded to 22 April 2020 for further police investigations.
