In most African countries, government officials
do not make a distinction between government property and that of the ruling
party. It is, therefore, perfectly normal that a government official should use
government vehicles for party activities. The Namibian anti-corruption agency,
to its immense credit, is trying to clamp down on this practice. In this
report,
a government officer who was using a government vehicle for the activities of
the ruling party ended up in jail. I
hope that this will serve as an example to other African countries – such as Zimbabwe.
