A recent audit report by the Auditor General, Junias Kandjeke, has revealed that six retired government employees are still living in government-owned houses in the Kunene Region, even though they should have moved out long ago.

The report, which covers the financial year of 2024 and focuses on the Department of Works, was officially presented to Parliament today.

According to the Auditor General, the government allows retired officials to remain in their government accommodation for up to one month after retirement. During this grace period, they are required to pay a rental fee of N$1,500. However, the six former employees mentioned in the report have exceeded this one-month period without proper explanation.

Kandjeke explained that the audit team could not find any valid documents to support their continued stay. “We could not verify any extension approval letters, rental payment receipts, or proper reasons justifying why they are still occupying the houses,” he said.

The report raises serious concerns about the management and monitoring of government property, particularly in the Kunene Region. It also suggests possible weaknesses in enforcing rules and recovering rental fees from retired officials.

Members of Parliament are now expected to review the findings and recommend actions to be taken against those who continue to occupy government property unlawfully. The Auditor General urged government departments to improve their record-keeping and follow-up processes to avoid such situations in the future.
