OBSERVER COASTAL | Zaamwani warns against fisheries corruption, vows zero tolerance

Staff Writer

Fisheries and marine resources minister Inge Zaamwani has declared zero tolerance for corruption in the management of Namibia’s marine resources, asserting that the allocation of fishing rights and quotas must remain impervious to personal interests or favouritism.

Her address, delivered at the opening of a five-day Corruption Risk Assessment Workshop hosted by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in Walvis Bay, served as a reminder that the nation’s fish stocks are a finite national asset rather than a spoils system for the connected.
