Lack of Funds Hampers NamPol Programmes

The Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Sebastian Ndeitunga, says some of this year’s programmes could not be fully implemented due to financial constraints.

Speaking at the Namibian Police end-of-year function, Ndeitunga said financial constraints hampered the fulfilment of activities, projects and performances as anticipated.

However Ndeitunga acknowledged that his officers had done their best to sustain their operations despite the constraints.

“I am aware of the fact that the officers have done the best they could to maintain peace and stability in the country,” he said.
Ndeitunga said they have at least managed to recruit about 356 cadets this year.

“The 356 cadets are currently undergoing basic police training at Ondangwa Police Station.”
He also said police force members had undergone various training courses conducted at the Police College this year.

The police acquired a number of vehicles to supplement the existing fleet.
“On the crime front, we have succeeded in tracking down many of the hard-core criminals involved in various crimes such as murder, fraud, robbery, etc,” he said.

He said his officers are still hard at work in search of the B1 Butcher culprit/s.
“We are still hard at work to ensure that the murderer(s) of late Mabula and the other victims who were killed in cold blood are apprehended and brought to book,” said Ndeitunga.

The police chief expressed satisfaction with his officers doing international duties such as UN peacekeeping missions abroad.
“All these achievements and success are indeed a manifestation of our hard work and should therefore remain our source of inspiration to forge ahead with our national obligations.”

Meanwhile, officers who have distinguished themselves with outstanding performance during the course of this year were honoured.
