AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Parliament Oversight: The National Assembly resumed and MPs debated the Public Governance Amendment Bill, with critics warning it could centralise control of public enterprises in the Office of the Prime Minister, while others pushed for clearer board qualifications and stronger financial oversight. Health Appointments: In another heated question, AMUPANDA leader Job Amupanda challenged why the Registrar of Pharmacists post was not advertised; Health Minister Dr Esperance Luvindao said consultations were done and legal opinions sought, even if the Medicines Act doesn’t spell out advertising. AfCFTA Push: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah urged full AfCFTA implementation to lift intra-African trade and industrial growth, pointing to Namibia’s exports under the agreement and the strategic role of Walvis Bay. Agriculture Delivery: The President praised Kavango East green schemes for improved land utilisation and output, while noting equipment ageing and weather delays. Fuel Contract Controversy: IPC demanded answers on the energy ministry’s three-month exclusive fuel supply deal with Vitol, questioning the lack of competitive tendering and pricing terms. Governance & Integrity: A whistleblower complaint alleges corruption and nepotism at NIPDB; the claims are unverified and no ACC findings are reported. Regional Fisheries: SADC renewed the MCSCC board, re-electing Namibia’s Stanley Ndara as chair. Economy & Power: Fitch said NamPower’s liquidity and leverage look stronger than Eskom’s. Education Administration: Government ordered universities to let NSFAF-funded students sit exams and access results while funding processes are finalised. Connectivity Boost: Edelweiss launched the Zurich–Windhoek direct flight, strengthening tourism and investment links.
