distances for this much-needed service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that by leveraging technology and providing a more accessible service to the public, they are taking a significant step forward in fulfilling the mandate of the Namibian Police to safeguard life and property, maintain public order, and uphold the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakaria said that adding this office will bring these essential services closer to the people, saving both time and costs for the residents of Ondangwa and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then urged the public to continue cooperating with the police in fostering a safer and more secure environment for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ondangwa Mayor Paavo Amwele, in a speech read on his behalf, indicated that the town continues to grow as a hub of economic activity, and with that growth comes the need for strong, reliable, and accessible public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, Amwele said that the establishment of this office is a testament to their collective commitment, both as a local authority and as law enforcement, to ensuring that motor vehicle clearance processes are conducted swiftly, transparently, and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVehicle-related crimes such as theft and fraud remain a challenge in many parts of the country, and this facility will play a crucial role in combating such
