Taxi driver swiftly jailed for bribe
News in short
In a swift delivery of justice, long-distance taxi driver Paulus Shuundi (33) was sentenced to six months' imprisonment yesterday in the Swakopmund Magistrate’s Court.
Shuundi was arrested last Friday outside Swakopmund for attempting to bribe a traffic officer with N$100.
He offered a Namibian Police traffic officer the bribe in order to avoid a fine of N$1 000 after overtaking at a no-crossing marking, and N$2 000 for overloading.
The incident took place on the B2 road, 15 kilometres outside Swakopmund towards Arandis. Shuundi pleaded guilty when he appeared in court yesterday, and Magistrate Conchita Olivier immediately sentenced him to six months in jail.
Anita Likius prosecuted.
