Motorists can now pay expired admission of guilt fines
The Namibian Judiciary has launched a two-month amnesty program allowing motorists to pay outstanding traffic fines. The initiative aims to clear backlogs and applies to district courts across the country until September 30.
Why it matters
This provides a significant opportunity for citizens to resolve legal issues and avoid further prosecution or warrants of arrest.
Motorists with outstanding traffic admissions of guilt fines have been given a two-month opportunity to settle their fines. The Office of the Judiciary announced this on Monday under a new amnesty programme.
Judiciary spokesperson Vikitoria Hango says this includes those whose payment deadlines have already expired.
The amnesty runs from 3 August to 30 September and is aimed at helping the public clear outstanding traffic matters while reducing the backlog of unresolved traffic-related cases.
Hango says motorists can pay their fines in person at the district court where the notice to appear in court was issued.
“Payments will be accepted from Monday to Friday during normal working hours. Alternatively, payments can be made via electronic funds transfers (EFT) into the designated bank account of the relevant district court,” she says.
