The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security says accommodation for the police force is a pressing issue that needs a solution.   
 
Dr Albert Kawana said this during the handing over of prefabricated units valued at more than N$1 million at Swakopmund. 

Dr Kawana says the donation by Swakop Uranium of pre-fabricated units of 600 square meters and 60 sets of beds and mattresses, complements his assignment by the president to build a police village.

Most members of the Police are still struggling with accommodation and the units will be used to upgrade accommodation and office facilities at various border posts countrywide.

"In Windhoek, we have already secured a plot where we are going to build a police village, and our president has directed me to make sure that dream is realized as soon as possible. Some of our police officers, do not like where they stay; it's a pressing issue when it comes to police accommodation. This is  why I am determined as per the directive of the president to make sure that before I retire, that project is realized." 

The Chief Executive Officer of Swakop Uranium, Qin Bin, says the company will remain committed to assist the government with sustainable projects.

"This donation is thus our proud contribution in support of your effort in strengthening homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty." 
 
Dr Kawana once again dismissed insinuations that the government is not doing much to improve people's living standards in comparison to what the apartheid regime was able to deliver.

"In teams of road infrastructure, we are amongst the top five and somebody says there is nothing that the government has done and colonialism was better, that's an insult to this nation."
