The Chairperson of the National Council, Lukas Muha, conveyed deep sadness over the death of President Hage Geingob.

Recognised as a freedom fighter and unifier, Muha emphasised Dr. Geingob's pivotal role in the nation's liberation.

Muha underscored the late president's exceptional leadership during the Constituent Assembly, where he played a key role in the unanimous adoption of Namibia's Constitution on February 9, 1990. 

With the 34th anniversary of this historic event approaching, Muha urged the nation to reflect on and honour Geingob's enduring legacy.

Ignatius Kariseb has been re-elected as Omaheke Regional Council's Chairperson, while Piniel Pakarae and Wenzel Kavaka of Epukiro and Otjombinde Constituencies are members of the management committee.

In his acceptance speech, Kariseb promised to foster unity among the council members for the benefit of regional development.

A pressing issue on the table that needs to be addressed is youth unemployment.
