WINDHOEK: Deputy Prosecutor-General Jackson Kuutondokwa on Tuesday made a second appearance in the Windhoek Magistrate’s Court in Katutura on a charge of drunken driving.

Kuutondokwa appeared before Windhoek Magistrate Conchita Olivier on a charge of driving a motor-vehicle while allegedly being under the influence of alcohol.

His case was then remanded until 31 October this year.

“This was a final postponement for the prosecuting authorities to obtain the results of his blood test to determine the level of alcohol,” said Magistrate Olivier as she granted the postponement.

The deputy PG is free on a warning, and he was again today warned to appear before court on 31 October this year when the results of his blood test will be made public before court.

Public Prosecutor Salomie Bampton appeared for the State today.

A legal limit of 0,37 milligrammes of alcohol per litre of breath is applicable to all motorists in Namibia.

According to a summary of substantial facts contained in the charge-sheet, Kuutondokwa was arrested by the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) on a Sunday evening in April this year at about 20h40 along Independence Avenue in Katutura, allegedly driving a motor-vehicle while he was under the influence of alcohol.

He spent some hours in police custody upon his arrest that day.

Meanwhile, Kuutondokwa had pleaded guilty to having driven while under the influence of liquor on 08 December 2002 in the Windhoek High Court.

He was sentenced to a fine of N.dollars 5 000 or 12 months’ imprisonment, of which N.dollars 2 500 or six months were suspended for a period of three years on condition that he was not convicted of a similar offence committed during the period of suspension.
