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.

The Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Fund, in partnership with the Mariental Town Council, the Ministry of Health and Social Services, and the Namibian Police, has launched an Emergency and Medical Regional Response Center at Mariental.

The emergency rescue center, to operate from the Mariental Fire Station and serve the Hardap Region, will provide emergency medical care and stabilize injured accident victims.
