By Kuvee Kangueehi Windhoek The Namibian Prosecutor-General Martha Imalwa has re-emphasized that investigations into the missing millions of the Offshore Development Company (ODC), Avid Investment/Social Security Commission (SCC) and the Namibia Defence Force are still ongoing, and progress is being made. Imalwa At a media briefing on Friday, Imalwa said her office had been bombarded by numerous enquiries from the public and media raising their concerns regarding the progress made with regard to the investigation and prosecution. Hence, she decided to brief the media. The SSC lost N$30 million in 2005 after the company gave this amount to Avid Investment Corporation for investment, while ODC also lost N$100 million in investments. She noted that investigations were being carried out by the Inspector-General under the supervision and guidance of the PG’s office. Imalwa However, Imalwa declined to give more details on the nature of the investigations because this would ultimately jeopardize the investigations and subsequent prosecution. She said the State is required to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt and, as such, they must guard against disseminating and revealing the investigations to the public. She said a lot of information has been collected locally as well as abroad. The PG also revealed that she has decided to re-open the NDF docket after her office received new information. The NDF was swindled out of more than N$3 million by an unknown company that promised to sell military equipment to the NDF. Although the NDF had paid over N$3 million, to date the equipment has never been delivered, and the company could also not be traced. The PG said she appreciates the assistance from other countries resulting in them gathering further evidence and vowed that her office would prosecute all persons involved in these matters if and when sufficient evidence surfaces. Meanwhile, Imalwa has revealed that the Caprivi High Treason Trial has reached the stage where the state has closed its case and is waiting on a ruling. She said the first Caprivi High Treason matter is a cause of concern for members of the public with regard to the duration and length of the trial. The delays experienced in the trial were caused by interruptions and applications brought by both the State and defence lawyers. “Our Criminal Justice system is an adversarial system where each party has an opportunity to put its case before the court, and the State is required to prove the offences beyond all reasonable doubt.” She added that 93 witnesses have thus far testified since the trial commenced in late 2004, after the Supreme Court of Namibia ruled that the Namibian courts have jurisdiction to try the matter.
