Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Crimes in the Ohangwena region have increased by almost 40% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

This year, the region\u2019s police recorded 7 578 cases.<\/p>\n

Of those, 1 445 are theft cases. Cases of assault and grievous bodily harm were 1 040, housebreaking (982), gender-based violence (432), rape (254), stock theft (268) and 27 murders.<\/p>\n

This represents an increase of 38% in the crimes committed in the region.<\/p>\n

These figures were given by the governor of Ohangwena Walde Ndevashiya during the state of the region address at Eenhana on Monday.<\/p>\n

Ndevashiya said the crime rate is a huge concern.<\/p>\n

In an effort to curb the high crime rate in the region, new police stations at Ongha and police barracks at Eenhana were completed during the period under review.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the construction of a police station that has a charge office, cell block, male and female single quarters and married quarters at Endola is underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlans are underway to construct new police stations at Ondobe, Epembe, Omboloka, and Omulonga,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the governor has also said, during the reporting period, 121 veterans were registered to receive the monthly subsidy of N$2 200, bringing the total number of veterans on this programme to 3 709.<\/p>\n

According to Ndevashiya, 15 veterans were registered to receive the N$3 000 monthly improvement grant, bringing the total to 30 veterans on this programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cA total number of 90 veterans were registered to receive the N$4 000 monthly improvement grant, bringing the total to 1 085 veterans on this programme. While, a total number of 60 funeral assistance were granted to the deceased veterans to the tune of N$600 000,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

In addition, a total number of 69 tombstones for the war veterans were erected to the value of N$1.1 million and 23 veterans received psychosocial counselling over the same period.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the same period, a total number of 101 individual veteran projects (IVPs) have been approved and funded at the cost of N$17.1 million. Due to their participation in the war of the liberation struggle, many veterans are suffering from post-war trauma (PTSD), exacerbated by socio-economic challenges,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

However, the region is still faced with the challenge of late birth registrations. The region continues to experience the challenge of stateless and undocumented people.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, in order to prevent statelessness and to give all children in their care access to the various social safety nets that the government offers its citizens, I urge all parents and other caregivers to make a greater effort to see that every child in their care has obtained the necessary national documents on time,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

Concerned…. Walde Ndevashiya, the governor of Ohangwena region.<\/p>\n
