Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa Amadhila is in the Ohangwena Region to assess the delivery of public services to the community.

In Eenhana, she was briefed about water shortages in some villages in the region, as well as matters relating to sanitation, education, health, information and communication technology, and poor road infrastructure.

Discussions centred around the provision of water to villages with serious shortages.

The Prime Minister also undertook a field trip to the Ohamutwetautende, Omhalapapa, and Omulondo villages in Epembe, Omundaungilo, and Oshikunde constituencies.

Her first stop was at Ohamutwetautende village, where villagers do not have clean drinking water.

About 80 households drink from wells that often run dry, forcing villagers to drink saline water from boreholes.

The government has now made available N$2.6 million for the installation of the Ohamutwetautende borehole with a pipeline network able to provide clean drinking water to about seven villages.

"We are grateful to this community and others facing similar conditions for being patient to wait until we are able to reach them with this development, and that should inspire others who have challenges not yet addressed to be hopeful and to continue to be patient. I want you to join us to protect the equipment we are going to put up here because I was in Kavango West and I was informed that of the 26 boreholes we built there, 13 of them have been vandalised."
