The Central Procurement Board of Namibia (CPBN) has awarded tenders worth N$8,1 billion, of which N$7,1 billion were awarded to Namibians during the 2023–2024 financial year.

The Central Procurement Board of Namibia has flagged construction, security services, and cleaning companies as among those not adhering to labour law's minimum wage provision and also exploiting workers.

President Hage Geingob says he is deeply disturbed by allegations that the Central Procurement Board of Namibia may not have awarded tenders to bidders with the lowest substantially qualifying bids as required under section 55 of the Public Procurement Act.

The Central Procurement Board of Namibia has awarded 37 procurement contracts to the value of N$1.4 billion between April and September this year.

The Acting Chairperson of the board, Amon Ngavetene, revealed this at a media briefing in Windhoek.
