The Namibia Investment Promotion and Facilitation Bill, if unchanged, will see the introduction of compliance officers to ensure that businesses operate within the confines of the laws.

Speaking at the stakeholders' engagement at Keetmanshoop, the Minister of Trade and Industrialization, Lucia Iipumbu, explained the benefits that come with the bill once it becomes law, as well as the National Consumer Policy and the Liquor Act.

The business community has been urged to familiarise itself with the Liquor Act and the National Consumer Protection Policy to protect themselves and their businesses against unfair practices.

The call was made by the Minister of Industrialisation and Trade, Lucia Iipumbu, at a stakeholder engagement dealing with these two legal framework documents.
