A suspended Namibia Revenue Agency worker plans to sue over her delayed case. The Windhoek staff member has remained on paid leave for two years. Officials suspended senior human resources officer Ndamonoghenda Nampweya amid allegations of nepotism and document forgery. Her lawyer, Diaz Kavu, claims agency leaders waste public money paying someone who cannot work.
Nampweya received suspension orders in 2023 pending investigation. The disciplinary committee chairperson suggested a final written warning instead of firing her last September. Kavu argues this recommendation should have led to her immediate return to work. Despite formal demands for reinstatement, Namra commissioner Sam Shivute has not responded to any communications from her legal team.
Shivute countered that the chairperson merely offered recommendations, with no final decision. He promised thorough investigations but refused further public comment about their employer-employee relationship. The internal investigation report from January found suspicious identity documents linked to Nampweya. Investigator Fillimon Nyau alleges she deliberately omitted her husband's relative's surname on application papers.
Nyau claims Nampweya broke anti-corruption laws by dishonestly exploiting her position. He believes she illegally provided forged documents to Shivute. Kavu said officials requested information about mitigating circumstances through a September letter. The investigation ended on January 16, recommending only a final warning rather than termination.
