Former Fishcor administrator Mike Nghipunya has testified that the company funded the SWAPO Party on two occasions. He says former Fisheries Minister Bernard Esau allocated an 18 000 metric tonnes fishing quota for the party's benefit. Nghipunya estimates that quota to be worth N$47 million, and has alleged in cross-questioning before Judge Shafimana Ueitele today that Esau had told him that it was for Government objectives. A Cabinet directive identifies Government objectives as an aid towards war veterans, poverty and drought relief programs, or support for employment creation by fishing companies. Nghipunya says Fishcor paid about N$20 million into Namandje's firm and N$14 million into De Klerk, Horn and Coetzee's law firm. He denies funds disappearing from Fishcor and maintains that the company outsourced payment of Government objective earnings. President Hage Geingob had denied any claims that his and the SWAPO Party's campaigns were funded with illicit funds. The prosecution opposes Nghipunya's offer to be released on bail of N$200 000. His bail hearing continues in the Windhoek High Court.
