The Namibia Revenue Agency (Namra) says it has recovered N$3.4 million through its whistleblower hotline.
According to a statement issued by the institution on Wednesday, this involved financial crimes such as tax evasion, fraud and unethical practices.
“Since becoming operational in May 2024, the hotline has received 60 reports addressing key concerns such as fraud, corruption, tax evasion, alleged money laundering, drug smuggling, and unethical behaviour,” Namra spokesperson Steven Ndorokaze says.
The hotline was launched last year and is independently managed by Deloitte Namibia.
“The impact of this initiative is evident, with N$15.8 million raised in assessment, of which N$3.4 million has been recovered from three companies,“ he says.
