Mulunga’s lawyers threaten to reveal infidelities of others

Home National Mulunga’s lawyers threaten to reveal infidelities of others

Windhoek

Metcalfe Attorneys, the firm representing the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) managing director Immanuel Mulunga, have threatened to sue Namcor if it forces him to resign, and also threatened to name and shame the infidelities of those trying to fire their client.

In a letter seen by New Era, the lawyers say his “detractors and those who seek to depose him from his position as managing director of the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia should be aware of such Constitutional Right to Privacy as well as the provisions of Article 12 of the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia, which enshrines the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent, impartial and competent tribunal established by law.”

“Mulunga will not – unless forced – stoop to the level of revealing the infidelities or imperfections of his detractors but reserves all of his rights in such respect. He also reserves all of his rights to approach the High Court of Namibia for enforcement and protection of his constitutional rights which are being seriously impinged upon by his detractors,” the letter states.

The Mulunga family have become the talk of the town after Mulunga’s wife Sonia found a skimply dressed woman in their marital home after she returned early from a trip to London.

The incident resulted in a social media frenzy. Some people have asked why Mulunga is being asked to resign while the former environment and tourism minister, Uahekua Herunga, who was accused of rape last year was not asked to resign from his job.

The Minister of Mines and Energy Obeth Kandjoze has asked Mulunga to resign and receive an unspecified “golden handshake”, and be deployed to another job according to a report in The Namibian newspaper this week.

“Such persons are also respectfully reminded of the provisions of Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia which provide that administrative bodies and administrative officials shall act fairly and reasonably and comply with the requirements imposed upon such bodies and officials by common law and any relevant legislation,” the letter continues.

The lawyers further argue that at no stage whatsoever can it be averred by even the most puerile mind that Mulunga’s attendance and support of Shepherd Bushiri’s religious service impinged upon the rights of other or national interests.

“Any token of appreciation given to Bushiri by Mulunga was openly and legally done by Mulunga. All dishonest allegations to the contrary are simply muckraking and contrived,” the letter reads further.
