THE Ondangwa Town Council has allocated a parcel of land to the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) for the construction of a new substation in Omashaka, Ondangwa. The Satellite Police land, measuring 1 750 square meters, was provided by the Council. Following a thorough analysis, the Council decided to allocate an additional 4 479 square metres, bringing the total size to 6 229 square metres.
Mayor Paavo Amwele emphasized that this effort aims to support NamPol’s crime-fighting initiatives. As the town expands, the crime rate in the area has increased. Proximity is considered crucial to minimizing response time and achieving success in apprehending criminals.
Amwele expressed the Council’s vision to see the land developed and called upon the Namibian Police Force to initiate fundraising efforts for the station’s development. Additionally, he mentioned his office’s commitment to mobilizing funds from the business community to support the project.
Inspector-General Joseph Shikongo of NamPol highlighted that the construction of the substation will enhance services for the community of Omashaka and nearby villages. Shikongo reiterated NamPol’s commitment to providing quality service to the people at all times.
