In a dramatic address that has sent shockwaves through Namibia’s political landscape, President Hage Geingob has issued a stern ultimatum to regional governors, demanding immediate accountability and action in their respective areas. The President’s fiery speech, delivered during a crucial meeting, emphasized that failure to implement government policies will no longer be tolerated.
Geingob made it clear that he expects governors to be fully engaged and responsive to the pressing challenges facing their regions as they prepare for the upcoming elections. “You must bring rapid solutions to the challenges in your areas,” he declared, highlighting the necessity of collaboration with local authorities, community leaders, and businesses to address urgent needs.
The President’s remarks come at a pivotal time as Namibia gears up for regional and local authority elections, underscoring the critical role governors play in development. With a call for integrity and a commitment to combat corruption, Geingob urged his appointed governors to prioritize the welfare of all Namibians and ensure effective service delivery.
As tensions rise and the clock ticks down to the elections, the President’s warning has ignited discussions across the nation. He has mandated a comprehensive workshop for all governors, emphasizing that their performance will be closely monitored. “I will follow your work closely,” he warned, indicating that the stakes have never been higher.
This urgent plea for unity and action aims to transform the socio-economic landscape of Namibia, particularly in addressing youth unemployment and bridging the urban-rural divide. With the National Development Plan 6 set to launch soon, all eyes are on the governors to rise to the occasion and meet the expectations set forth by their leader. The challenge is clear: deliver results or face the consequences.
