The High Court has dismissed Tamson Hatuikulipi’s application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court following the refusal of his most recent bail application. 

The Fishrot corruption trial, set to commence today before High Court Judge Moses Chinhengo, has been postponed to Thursday, 6 February, due to the judge's unavailability.

The bail application for one of the Fishrot accused, Tamson Hatuikulipi, is expected to continue in the High Court on Monday.

This is Hatuikulipi's third bid for bail, which he launched in February this year, counting on supposed new facts. 

Fishrot accused Tamson Hatuikulipi vehemently denied that he is corrupt when he appeared in the Windhoek High Court on Tuesday for another bail application.

Hatuikulipi approached the court for a bail application based on new facts, making this his third attempt.

High Court Judge David Munsu will deliver his ruling on whether he will entertain a bail application filed by Tamson Hatuikulipi, one of the men accused in the biggest fishing corruption scandal in Namibia, tomorrow.

Family members of the detained fishrot suspects held a silent protest this morning in front of the Windhoek Correctional Facility.
 
The group gathered there, hoping to catch the attention of Namibian Correctional Service (NCS) officials and amplify their request. 

In a firm decision by the High Court, Judge Moses Chinhengo has once again denied requests for postponement in the plea hearing of the individuals accused in the high-profile Fishrot case.

Tamson 'Fitty' Hatuikulipi, one of the key figures in the "Fishrot" fishing quotas fraud and corruption case, was denied bail by a High Court Judge.

The Anti-Corruption Commission's Chief Investigator, Andreas Kanyangela, says Fishrot suspect Tamson Hatuikulipi is being evasive with his side of the story on what transpired in the alleged fraud scandal.

The lead investigator of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Andreas Kanyangela, has again objected to the granting of bail to Tamson Hatuikulipi, one of the accused in the fishrot case.
