Windhoek — THE Karas Regional Council's Chief Regional Officer, Salmaan Jacobs, who faces corruption charges, made his fifth appearance in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court last Wednesday.

Jacobs is accused of defrauding the Karas Regional Council of close to N$32 000 after he allegedly claimed N$49 020 in extra expenses for attending a month-long, all-expenses-paid workshop in Germany.

Jacobs' case was postponed until June 6 for further Police investigation.

He remains free on bail of N$7 000.
