The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform (MAFWLR) is stepping up measures to prevent corruption in Namibia's fisheries sector and advocating for tight controls and transparency.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says secrecy and lack of transparency in the fisheries sector have made corruption harder to detect.
It is now calling for greater disclosure of fishing rights, quotas and licence holders.
At least 50 households from the San community at Nkurenkuru's Extension 5 have received food donations from Ruguru Investment. The donation is worth N$85,700.
Ruguru Investment is one of the companies allocated fishing rights in the Kavango West Region.
President Nangolo Mbumba says the promotion of Namibianization is progressing well in the fisheries sector.
He revealed that, to date, 90% of fishing rights are owned by Namibians, and the sector employs about 18,000 Namibians.
