The Chief Executive Officer of the Road Authority, Conrad Lutombi, says despite the limited resources at their disposal, they are working tirelessly to ensure that most roads in the Omaheke Region receive much-needed attention.

Gobabis, Aminuis, and Aranos roads are all still under construction, and by December this year, phase one of the road will be officially inaugurated.

The procurement process is being finalised for a 145-kilometre road linking Gobabis and Talismanus in the Otjombinde Constituency before ground work is expected to begin next year.

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, has announced phase two of the upgrade on the Charlie Cutline Road, 70 kilometres west of Rundu.

The second phase is set to run for six months, covering at least 35 kilometres at a cost of N$29.8 million.

The road connects the Kavango East, Kavango West, Oshikoto, and Ohangwena regions.

The second phase of the upgrade has already started, and it has so far covered 10 kilometres.

The Opuwo Town Council has appointed Matjandjara Tjihuura-Katurota as the new Chief Executive Officer.

Tjihuura-Katurota is the first woman to assume this executive role.

Before her appointment, Tjihuura-Katurota served as a Financial Manager at the Omaruru Municipality.

She expressed her commitment to being a servant to the residents in service delivery as she outlined some of her expectations from the employees in her new role.

The Auditor General has issued a qualified opinion to the Mariental Municipality for the year that ended in June 2022.

A qualified audit opinion is issued when financial statements contain material misstatements or omissions.

According to the audit report, the municipality failed to disclose the open lands and leased farmlands in the financial statements.

The Mariental municipality also did not prepare the cash flow statement using the direct method.

However, the municipality disclosed non-cash items in preparing the statement.
