No legal provision to erase criminal records in Namibia – Walters
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Former ombudsman John Walters says Namibia has no legal process to erase criminal records, meaning offenders carry that burden for life unless pardoned by the president.
He says while there are calls for a “clean slate” system, it would require both legal reform and a shift in societal attitudes.
