The police have arrested two more suspects in a N$29.9 million fraud from a fishing company at Walvis Bay.
The latest arrest brings the total number of suspects to six.
Victoria George (34), who is self-employed, is believed to be the mastermind of the alleged fraud and money laundering case.
Walvis Bay Mayor Trevino Forbes says it is surprising that the municipality does not receive fishing quotas to help residents and develop the town.
The Executive Director of Fisheries and Marine Resources Annely Haiphene says the ministry has prioritised the finalisation of the long-awaited scorecard system in the current financial year.
The Confederation of Namibian Fishing Associations (CNFA) has criticised the government for competing unfairly against right holders, who are obligated to create jobs and add value to the industry.
The Former Minister of Marine Resources Bernhardt Esau asserted that Namibia and its citizens benefited from an agreement that was entered into with Angola.
Esau said this during the continuation of his bail hearing application.
