The Vice-Treasurer of the Namibia National Farmers Union (NNFU) says farmers in the Northern Communal Area (NCA) are struggling to access drought relief for their livestock.

Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua wants the farmers' trade unions' books audited for accountability.

Uerikua was speaking at the Namibia National Farmers Union (NNFU) Special Congress at Otjiwarongo.

The governor says the farmers' union books must be audited and open to the public for scrutiny.
