Breadcrumb

The Anti-Corruption Commission has opted to remain tight-lipped on whether it will pursue any investigations against Mines and Energy Minister Tom Alweendo and Mining Commissioner, Erasmus Shivolo.

The two have been implicated for allegedly benefiting from a N$50 million bribery scandal by awarding fraudulent mining licenses to undeserving firms.

The anti-graft agency opted only to confirm that investigations are underway against Alweendo's former technical advisor, Raphael Muyamba, who has since resigned.
