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.
