The successful candidate will succeed the outgoing Ombudsman John Walters who has served in that position since 2004.<\/p>\n

The Namibian Constitution provides that the Ombudsman should either be a judge or a person possessing the legal qualifications which would entitle him or her to practice law in all the courts of Namibia.<\/p>\n

Internationally, an Ombudsman is usually an independent, non-partisan official who exercises oversight over public administration.<\/p>\n

An Ombudsman has the power to investigate, report upon, and make recommendations on individual cases, administrative procedures, and relevant systemic changes.<\/p>\n

This includes cases related to the violations of fundamental rights and freedoms and abuse of power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
