A United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) protection officer at Osire Refugee Camp was denied bail following his court appearance on Monday over fraud allegations.  

Severinus Sainga faces charges of defrauding refugees of more than N$800,000.

The Head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Fafa N'Konou, says refugees should not be deprived of services or jobs they need to live self-reliant lives.

N'Konou explained that no matter how long they stay in exile, refugees want to carry on with their lives.
