The National Executive Committee of the Namibia Federation of People with Disabilities in Namibia (NFPDN) has suspended its Chairperson, Matheus Hashongo, over alleged misappropriation of funds. 

The federation's National Executive Committee, in a statement, said Hashongo was suspended on 18th March. 

It is alleged that Hashongo, despite being suspended, has been acting as the committee chairperson. 

The federation said any communication, engagement, and commitment made in its name by an unauthorised individual should be treated with caution. 

The committee stated that the federation remains committed to ensuring continuity, stability, and adherence to its governance framework.

Hashongo confirmed receiving a suspension letter but was quick to add that he remains the legitimate chairperson of the committee, saying the committee has no authority to suspend him. 

Hashongo also denied claims of misappropriating the federation's funds. 

It is his wish that the matter will be resolved amicably.
