Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Swapo Regional Executive Committee of Zambezi region has suspended its coordinator Moffat Sileze over allegations of missing party funds amounting to N$47 000. The committee revealed this during a media briefing yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis suspension resulted from accounted funds that went missing from the regional operational account. The purpose of the suspension is to allow investigations to take place. Sileze remains innocent until proven guilty by authorised established organs legally allowed to deal with misconduct cases,\u201d said regional information and mobilisation officer Dorothy Kabula.<\/p>\n

She added that the details of the suspension were already communicated in writing to Sileze. Kabula however refused to answer further questions about the suspension, and whether the national leadership is aware of this decision. She simply stated, \u201cIt is an internal matter.\u201d Sileze confirmed receiving the letter, saying he had refused to sign it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received the letter just for the sake of receiving it, but I refused to sign it. The regional executive committee has no power to suspend me that power lies with the politburo. They can only recommend to the politburo, and only after investigations have been done can the politburo suspend me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sileze further refuses to vacate the office. \u201cThey asked me to give them the office keys and date stamp. I refused. I want to assure all the Swapo members that I am still the Swapo regional coordinator,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Contacted for comment, Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa confirmed that she was aware of the suspension. \u201cI am aware but not in detail because I don\u2019t have anything in writing. I am still waiting for the written details,\u201d she said in brief.<\/p>\n

*Aron Mushaukwa is an information officer for the MICT in the Zambezi region.<\/p>\n
