Inspector General of the Namibian Police, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, says the police will soon start engaging critical stakeholders to map out ways on how best to collaborate and ensure a peaceful national election later this year.

The police chief says no unruly behaviour will be tolerated.

As festivities kick off at the Okakarara Trade Fair, the police say they are ready to maintain law and order.

An estimated 10,000 people are expected to visit the show.

In a statement issued by the Regional Commander, Commissioner Heinrich Tjiveze, teams have been set up to ensure safety for all.
