Namibia: Police Warned to Stop Using Lack of Vehicles As Excuse for Slow Response

Police inspector general Joseph Shikongo says officers should stop telling the public they have no vehicles to attend to incidents of gender-based violence (GBV) – especially over the festive season.

Eight vehicles have been dispatched to each region.

This comes after the police have been criticised for their slow response to GBV incidents.
