The Mariental Town Council says it has not taken resolution to transfer its assets to a proposed power management and distribution company for the southern regions of Hardap and ||Kharas, nor has it resolved to join the said company.

The Mariental Town Council was responding to the petition of the Mariental Residents Association, which alleged that the town council had transferred its assets to a certain company.

Its CEO, Paul Nghiwilepo, stated that the Council is still in talks regarding the company's formation and has yet to hold consultations with the public as well as the Electricity Control Board on the matter.

The date of the consultation has yet to be announced.
