The Ohangwena Regional Council has initiated an investigation into the disappearance of N$200,000 that was intended for flood victims.

These funds were donated to the Ohangwena Regional Council by the Road Fund Administration (RFA) last year.

The incident occurred in 2023 under the tenure of the former regional governor, Walde Ndevashiya.

It is alleged that during that time, the former governor's personal assistant made contact with the RFA and requested that the money be transferred to the account of a company called Ethics Group Holding.
