During his time as the minister of fisheries and marine resources, Esau developed close ties with Samherji, allocating it a significant portion of Namibia’s fishing quota. Esau is said to have been working together with the former minister of justice, Sacky Shangala, former chairman of the state-owned fishing company, James Hatuikulipi, and his son-in-law, Tamson Hatuikulipi but after the release of the archive, Esau and Shangala resigned from their positions as ministers.
