A range of promotions have been announced by the Namibian Police.

Police Inspector General Joseph Shikongo made the announcement in Windhoek on Wednesday, elevating several senior officers to higher ranks and assigning them to key positions. 

In a significant development within the police force, the recent promotions are making a substantial impact, overcoming longstanding barriers in the system.

In the Zambezi Region, a remarkable stride has been made, with 310 out of 364 recommended positions now filled.

The Acting Regional Commander of Kavango East says law enforcement officers who are drowning in debt find it difficult to perform official duties.
