THE case in which Public Service Commissioner Teckla Lameck, her business partner, Kongo Mokaxwa, and Chinese national Yang Fan are charged with fraud, corruption and bribery has been postponed to April 8 next year.
The case was postponed when the three suspects made another appearance in the dock in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court yesterday.The postponement is for further investigations to be done and for the Prosecutor General to make a decision on the prosecution they are facing.Lameck, Mokaxwa and Yang are charged in connection with a multi-million dollar deal for the provision of Chinese-made X-ray scanning equipment to the Ministry of Finance. The equipment is being supplied by a Chinese company, Nuctech, at a total cost of US$55,348 million.Teko Trading CC, a close corporation in which Lameck and Mokaxwa are the only two members, received a ‘commission’ payment of N$42,06 million from Nuctech in March this year, allegedly despite the close corporation having done no substantial work to warrant receiving such a generous payment.Of this amount, N$9,39 million was paid directly to Lameck from a bank account of Teko Trading, N$8 million to Mokaxwa and N$16,8 million to Yang.
