As the terms of the country's current regional governors begin to draw to a close, the Governor's Forum has pledged to continue striving for effective service delivery during the remainder of their tenure.

James Uerikua, the Chairperson of the Governor's Forum, expressed his sentiments:

Minister of Agriculture, Water, and Land Reform, Calle Schlettwein, is worried about the progress of the Rundu Water Treatment Plant in the Kavango East Region. 

Once operational, the Rundu Water Treatment Plant is expected to bring an end to the town's water crisis. 

The National Council Chairperson, Lukas Muha, has expressed the need for the upper house and regional councils to engage communities to listen to their concerns.

This will help in the formulation of development agendas and legislative frameworks.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya says green hydrogen opportunities offered to young people in the region have not been responsive to the needs of school drop-outs.

Sheya is advocating for their inclusion in future projects.

The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs, Cletius Karondo, says that funds allocated to some capital projects are not used for the intended projects.

In the Year of Expectations, Otjozondjupa Regional Council has committed itself to redouble efforts to implement its strategic plan and goals by improving the socio-economic wellbeing of its residents.

Agriculture and education are among the sectors to be given priority in regional development.

This was highlighted at a meeting between the Chinese Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, and regional leadership.
