The Oshikoto Regional Council says it had to destroy 25 000 kilograms of maize meal earmarked for drought relief discovered at a dumpsite in Omuthiya because it was unfit for human consumption.
Oshikoto chief regional officer (CRO) Frans Enkali said the 207 bags of maize meal were damaged upon arrival in the region and the correct procedures were followed by the relevant authorities to get rid of it.
He said the bags were destroyed on 12 April with the approval of the Office of the Prime Minister. He said food inspectors had confirmed that the maize meal was spoilt.
