An Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) officer offered insight into the organisation's investigations, which led to numerous arrests related to alleged fuel supply irregularities at NAMCOR. 

Chief Investigating Officer Oberty Inambao testified in the Windhoek Magistrate's Court during the suspects' ongoing bail hearing.

Inambao said their investigation began in June last year, following an anonymous tip-off which alleged that former NAMCOR Logistics Executive Cedric Willemse deposited large sums of money into his personal bank account. 

A related matter, referred by the police, led to a joint investigation by law enforcement, now headed by the ACC.

The police docket lists Willemse, former finance executive Jennifer Hamukwaya, and Olivia Dunaiski as suspects, according to Inambao. 

They are accused of supplying fuel to Enercon and Erongo Petroleum without following NAMCOR procedures between August 2022 and May 2023. 

The fuel supplied is valued at over N$277 million.

Former NAMCOR Managing Director Immanuel Mulunga is also implicated for allegedly signing an Asset Purchase Agreement without adhering to procurement processes.

ACC investigator Inambao also testified that Enercon exceeded its N$15 million credit limit by more than N$20 million without providing the required guarantee. 

He said fuel deliveries were made despite the absence of government purchase orders, which were a condition for supply. 

Inambao added that Hamukwaya had access to Enercon's bank account before any formal agreement existed.

In a separate affidavit read by his lawyer, Ileni Gebhardt, another accused in the matter, Leo Nandago, denied having any operational role in Erongo Petroleum, saying he only signed documents and later transferred his 50% shareholding to Austin Elindi. 

Nandago is accused of paying N$500,000 to Panduleni Farming CC for the benefit of Hamukwaya and others. 

He denied wrongdoing and offered to pay N$5,000 bail.

In conclusion, during cross-examination, Jennifer Hamukwaya told the court that Enercon defaulted on payments in late 2022 due to non-payment by its clients, which led to NAMCOR putting its account on hold. 

She denied that deliveries continued after the suspension. 

Hamukwaya also said the proposal to purchase bulk storage facilities, valued at over N$53 million, came from Olivia Dunaiski and was justified as being budgeted for. 

She testified that the transaction did not require board approval.

The magistrate presiding over the case is Linus Samanzula.
