Namibia: Hailulu Fails With Contempt Attack on ACC

AN attempt by the chief executive officer of the National Housing Enterprise, Vinson Hailulu, to have the prosecutor-general and the Anti-Corruption Commission held in contempt of court over a decision to prosecute him on 13 criminal charges has ended in failure in the Windhoek High Court.
