Prime minister Elijah Ngurare has told various government institutions responsible for tackling corruption not to work in isolation.
He said this in a speech read on his behalf by his special adviser at the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan steering committee meeting in Windhoek on Wednesday.
The meeting aims to evaluate progress on implementing corruption strategies.
“You must create synergies that enable you to share intelligence and swiftly act as one when corruption acts rear their ugly heads. There is no need to work in silos. Work together. You are one fighting a common enemy that is corruption,” the prime minister said.
To promote good governance, he said national anti-corruption strategies and relevant legal frameworks must be developed.
Ngurare said institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Financial Intelligence Centre, the Office of Prosecutor General, the Office of Auditor-General, the Office of the Ombudsman and others have been established for this purpose.
He emphasised the importance of these institutions being adequately funded, and added that those tasked with rooting it out must do so without fear or favour.
“The people out there want us to serve them with honesty, fairness, and accountability. Once we do that, our offices, and us as individuals will earn their unqualified respect,” he said.
Ngurare said there is a need to decentralise these offices to all regions to bring services closer to the people.
