The //Kharas Regional Council meets today about an irregular payment authorized by acting chief Ralph Sachika that police currently investigate. Council members want answers from Sachika regarding money intended for August 26 Construction allegedly paid to a third party. Reports claim N$700,000 ended up with Sachika's two-year-old daughter.
Council leader Joseph Isaacks knows about regular payments to August 26 Construction for classroom projects but expressed surprise about N$3 million sent to Tushiko Internet Technologies CC. He stressed that finding the truth quickly remains their priority for this special meeting, where Sachika must present all payment documentation.
Affirmative Repositioning leader Job Amupanda raised these concerns in Parliament last week, questioning Defense Minister Frans Kapofi. He alleged meetings between Titus Iipumbu and Sachika led to payments flowing through Tushiko companies before reaching Maria Iipumbu, who distributed funds - including money that reached Sachika's child through Lusia Jacob's account.
Police commander Marius Katamila confirmed joint investigations began last November when Sachika reported fraud involving fake authorization letters from August 26 Construction. Investigators collected statements from council staff but await decisions about jurisdiction since parallel cases exist in Windhoek. Minister Kapofi plans to respond on Thursday at the National Assembly.
