The Justice Minister, Yvonne Dausab, has addressed concerns around the operationalisation of the Whistleblower Protection Act and the Witness Protection Act in the National Assembly. 

"The importance of these two pieces of legislation in the fight against corruption in all its forms cannot be underestimated. In a world where corruption persists as a global challenge, these laws stand as beacons of hope, reflecting our unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability in Namibia."

The long-awaited implementation of the Whistleblower Protection Act and the Witness Protection Act will come into effect during this financial year.

This was revealed by Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab when she motivated her ministry's budget of close to N$600 million in the National Assembly.

The two legislations, which were signed into law in 2017 by President Hage Geingob, could not be implemented due to budgetary constraints.
