What can an individual do to help fight corruption?
Preventing and fighting corruption is the responsibility of every citizen and resident of Namibia. The Anti-Corruption Act, 2003, then also places a duty on a public officer to whom any gratification is promised, offered, or given to report to the Commission. It places a similar duty on any other person from whom gratification is demanded. In this regard, it should be noted that failure to so report the Commission is an offence punishable with a fine not exceeding N$500.000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 25 years, or to both such fine and such imprisonment.
