Shifeta unaware of ministers who poach
Environment minister Pohamba Shifeta says he is not aware of any ministers or former members of parliament involved in poaching. Meanwhile, police Inspector General Sebastian Ndeitunga says he cannot deny that ministers or members of parliament were involved in poaching, but he wanted to know who they are so he can lay his hands on them. The minister and the police chief were reacting to reports in the Namibian Sun that NamRights executive director Phil ya Nangoloh had allegedly submitted a report to Ndeitunga in which political leaders are accused of involvement in rhino and elephant poaching. The paper further reported that Ya Nangoloh had allegedly informed Ndeitunga of the findings of an independent investigation into poaching he carried out in June and July this year.
