The Walvis Bay Magistrates' Court needs an infrastructural boost, as it lacks sufficient office and storage space.

Court officials informed parliamentarians that there have been delays in the renovation of a building, which ought to provide relief.

Members of Parliament visited capital projects under the Ministry of Justice and Office of the Judiciary at Walvis Bay.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs wanted to observe the progress made on the renovation project of the lower court between 2018 and 2021.

In the meantime, court officials revealed that their struggle with crowded office and storage space will continue until the renovation project is completed.
