Police survey slammed Police spokesperson Deputy Commissioner Edwin Kanguatjivi this week slammed a recent corruption survey conducted by the Namibia University of Science and Technology. Calling into question the survey he said: “It is interesting to note what the reasonable population size is, what the area of the population surveyed is and how the sample was the area surveyed and. It is also disheartening to note that the survey was done and published and no one cared to contact the Namibian Police Force.”
According to him, only 47 members were ever found to be corrupt. This dates back to March 2015 up until much recently. He argued that the number should have been much higher if corruption was a problem, considering the fact that the force was approximately 14 000 members strong. The ratio according to Kanguatjivi was too low to indicate that corruption was indeed a problem in the force.
Said Kanguatjivi: “that person that paid to have that survey done did not get their money's worth. Obviously the 1855 people interviewed cannot represent the entire population that report is devoid of any truth. If we were so corrupt, we should have been at 67%. Instead if you had to collect that percentage would be something like 0.2 something%.”
