Iyaloo Women Investment is calling on the government to release the outstanding 50 percent of fishing quotas allocated to the company under the Government Employment Redress Programme.

The company was granted 250 metric tonnes of hake to support employment creation.

A fishing company, Iyaloo Women Investment, has denied claims that workers under the Government Redress Programme have not been paid by the company for the past seven months.

The Confederation of Namibian Fishing Associations (CNFA) has warned the government against auctioning fishing quotas.

Its Chairperson, Matti Amukwa, said the approach discourages the nationalisation of the industry.

Amukwa was speaking at the annual fishing industry address at Walvis Bay.
