Members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economics and Public Administration are concerned about equipment left behind by diamond exploration companies in the Skeleton Coast Park.

The committee visited a diamond exploration site at Mowe Bay in the Kunene Region.

Chief Diamond Inspector Patrick Elungu explained that two exploration licences were awarded to two Namibian companies for onshore and offshore activities.

Elungu added that the companies have so far not found viable diamond deposits.

Benitha Imbamba, the chairperson of the Erongo Regional Council, has warned employers to stop bullying employees and engaging in unfair labor practices in the workplace.

Imbamba said this during the Regional Council's annual meeting at Swakopmund.

Imbamba, while warning management that action will be taken against such employers for mistreating their employees, called on labor and health inspectors to monitor and assess working conditions on a regular basis.
