A fleet of 22 new vehicles were handed over to the traffic law enforcement division of the Namibian Police ahead of the festive season.

The handover was done by the police and the Road Fund Administration (RFA).

It also included five speed cameras, breath alcohol testing devices and a trailer fitted with speakers and branding.

Namibian Police Inspector-General Joseph Shikongo said, during the 2023/2024 financial year, the police were allocated N$92.7 million to procure a new fleet.

Therefore, 113 vehicles, three boats and two trailers were procured using both the police budget and financial assistance from the RFA.

“To date, 40 vehicles and two trailers have been delivered by the suppliers, while 73 vehicles and the three boats are expected in due course.”

Shikongo said out of the 40 vehicles received, 21 are Toyota Hilux single cab bakkies for the traffic directorate, procured with RFA's assistance.

Meanwhile, 16 Toyota Hilux single cab bakkies, one Toyota Hilux double cab bakkie, two Toyota Corolla sedans and two livestock-transporting trailers were acquired with the police budget.
