Katima Police Station faces health hazard

Katima Mulilo Police Station commander chief inspector Charles Mayumbelo has described working conditions at the station as unconducive amid leaking sewage.

He said their daily operations and health are compromised due to the overflowing sewage.

The issue has persisted since 2021, when he came into office, and no solution has been found, he said.

“We, as the Namibian Police, are supposed to be the pride of the nation with the services we provide. However, we cannot go on to serve our people in such a hazardous situation. A sick police officer cannot provide the services needed by the people.

“Every day, I have to go to my doctor to get treatment for my blocked nose and chest pains,” he said.
