Africa-Press – Namibia. Florian Donatus Tegako, the IPC councillor for Walvis Bay Rural constituency, was granted bail of N$50,000 when he appeared in court at Swakopmund today on charges of fraud and money laundering.
The case was postponed to 29 October. The accused is implicated in an incident in which a Regional Council credit facility at a local supermarket was allegedly used fraudulently to purchase items valued at about N$115,000.
Tegako served as Chairperson of the Erongo Regional Council (ERC) for a few months before a High Court ruling removed him and reinstated deposed SWAPO councillor Benitha Imbamba. However, the ERC has so far ignored the court’s decision and had retained Tegako as Chairperson until his arrest on Monday. Photo: NBC Digital News
