THREE years ago, the Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration and Safety and Security, Albert Kawana, undertook an inspection along the Namibia\/Angola border and noticed the precarious working and living conditions at the Elundu police post in the Omundaungilo constituency of the Ohangwena Region, where law enforcement officers lived in old tents and had limited facilities. He decided, there and then, to take action to improve their conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Kawana returned to the historic Elundu, Ohenghono village, this time to inaugurate a new N$7.7 million police facility. The facility includes two prefabricated police barracks with ten rooms for male officers and six rooms for female officers, a charge office, a recreational area, a kitchen, a dining hall, a security fence, a borehole with a solar-powered pump, a water stand, a 10,000-litre water tank, and a septic tank. The total cost of the project was N$7,736,446.26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officiating at the event, Kawana pointed out the historical significance of the area and requested a moment of silence in honour of those who sacrificed their lives during the national liberation struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
