The Ministry of Safety and Security was a department of the Namibian government, responsible for overseeing the operations of the Namibian police and the correctional services. [1]
At independence of Namibia there was no dedicated ministry for the security portfolio but a Minister of State, a position occupied by Peter Tsheehama, [2] the head of the Namibia Central Intelligence Service, until 2005. In 1995 the Ministry of Prisons and Correctional Services was established. [1] Its minister was Marco Hausiku. [3]
The ministry was renamed Ministry of Safety and Security in 2005, [4] and existed until 2020 when its portfolio was added to the interior ministry, forming the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security (MHAISS). The current [update] minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security is Albert Kawana. [5]
