Former Ohangwena Governor Sebastian Ndeitunga says he has no immediate plans to re-enter active politics but remains open to serving the nation if called upon by the appropriate authorities.

Ndeitunga on Monday bid farewell to his staff, and in an interview with NAMPA, expressed contentment with his career path, which saw him rise from police chief to governor – a role he held for a year and seven months.

“If I am approached by the relevant authorities, then I will be available,” he stated, adding that he would only commit to endeavours he is confident he can execute.
For now, Ndeitunga is embracing a more pastoral life.

“I am an agricultural man; I have a few cows, chickens, and goats; hence, I will be busy looking after the animals and using my time to make an income for myself,” he shared.

Reflecting on his time as governor, Ndeitunga acknowledged challenges, particularly the lack of a developmental budget, which hindered efforts to assist communities. 

Despite these hurdles, he believes he performed his assigned tasks to the best of his abilities and is now ready to hand over to the next presidential appointee.

Ndeitunga’s extensive public service career includes leading the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) from 2005 until his retirement in 2022.

His retirement was brief, as the late President Hage Geingob appointed him governor of Ohangwena in November 2023. Ndeitunga expressed appreciation for this opportunity to once again serve the nation.

Staff members on Monday hosted a farewell party for Ndeitunga, marking the end of his latest public chapter.
