Former official arrested for allegedly awarding tender to own company

A former Namibian transport ministry inspector in Swakopmund has been arrested on corruption charges. Anthony Dreyer allegedly awarded a government contract for servicing firefighting equipment to a company he owned. The tender, valued at over N$84,000 in 2020, was granted without following official procurement procedures.

Dreyer appeared in the Swakopmund Magistrate’s Court and was released on bail of N$20,000. His case is scheduled for a plea and trial hearing in February 2026.

The Anti-Corruption Commission stated that Dreyer faces charges for using his office for personal benefit, violating procurement laws, and breaching organized crime statutes. A commission representative emphasized that such acts damage public trust and hinder effective governance.
