The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Friday announced the arrests of three officials from the directorate of rural water supply within the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform in the Omaheke region.
The trio are alleged to have distributed community water tanks via corrupt practices.
In its statement released on Friday, ACC spokesperson Marina Matundu says investigations revealed that fraudulent requisitions were allegedly submitted to the Omaheke regional government stores under false pretences for the collection of two 10 000L water tanks.
The tanks were intended for the communities of Orunarongwe post in the Otjinene constituency and Otjijaura post in the Epukiro constituency.
The three officials are expected to be formally charged and will appear before the Gobabis Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
“The investigation established that the water tanks were removed from the government stores during November 2025, but were allegedly diverted for the personal benefit of the officials or other private individuals instead of being delivered to the intended beneficiary communities,” Matundu says.
She says the two water tanks have since been recovered and seized from private individuals and are currently being returned to the Omaheke regional government stores.
Matundu says the ACC remains committed to investigating and combating corruption to ensure that public resources intended to benefit communities are protected and used for their rightful purposes.
