The Central Procurement Board of Namibia (CPBN) says it will soon pronounce itself on the controversial health tender, for which more than N$650 million was awarded to one company.

Should the board's decision be upheld, Amnics Trading, owned by businessman Shapwa Kanyama, will package condoms at a cost of more than $100 million.

The awarding of the multi-million dollar tender shocked the nation and sent the community into a social media frenzy.

Businessman Shapwa Kanyama has refuted claims of operating a non-existent factory.

Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding a health tender, worth around N$650 million, which was awarded to Amnics Trading, a company owned by Kanyama.

Meanwhile, Amnics says it only received notification of the award but the said tender was not yet granted.

Last week, the Central Procurement Board of Namibia (CPBN) came under fire after it revealed that it could not confirm the existence of Kanyama's factory, despite awarding the tender for medical supplies to the company.
