Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>LANDLESS People’s Movement (LPM) member of parliament Henny Seibeb is set to ask prime minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila about measures in place to stop former public officials from unfairly benefiting from the government.<\/p>\n

Seibeb said this in parliament yesterday where he plans to ask Kuugongelwa-Amadhila next week about \u201cclosing the revolving door\u201d of former public officials who are milking the system they served.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people close to elite politicians, or to politically exposed persons, resigning from public service and start their own consultancies and use the acquired expert knowledge, human and financial resources of those offices they resigned from to build their consultations and get state procurement deals and consultations on projects,\u201d Seibeb said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is corruption from both within and outside the public service. Most recently, the former adviser of the minister of mines and energy is alleged to have benefitted through such means,\u201d Seibeb said. Seibeb was referring to Ralph Muyamba, the former technical adviser to mines minister Tom Alweendo, Ralph Muyamba who has been reported to the Anti-Corruption Commission.<\/p>\n

Muyamba’s cousin Peter Shifwaku benefited from a controversial N$50 million mining licence, amid allegations that a clique of government officials manipulated processes to enrich themselves and their cronies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat policies\/measures are put in place to prevent former senior public officials from returning as consultants on unfair terms?\u201d Seibeb said in his questions.<\/p>\n

He asked the premier to explain how the government plans to \u201cprevent insider trading from former senior public officials who left the government joining private companies, or forming their own consultations\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome senior public officials spearhead projects and after the projects are approved they resign and enter as consultants\u201d.<\/p>\n
