Namibia is recognised by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as one of the countries in Africa with the highest quality roads. 

For the fifth consecutive year, the country has maintained its leading position in road infrastructure on the continent. 

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula, has informed the National Assembly that the tender for procuring essential medicines submitted last year remains unresolved due to ongoing legal challenges. 

The Minister of Finance and Public Enterprises says the current structure of the ministry is no longer fit for purpose and is being reviewed.

Finance and Public Enterprises Minister Iipumbu Shiimi says the projected economic recovery is not expected to address pervasive and entrenched national challenges.

Tabling the national budget, Shiimi said it is therefore urgent that Namibia's economy be diversified.

The Zambezi Regional Leadership is concerned about the state of some government infrastructure in the region.

It called on Minister of Finance and Public Enterprises Ipumbu Shiimi to ensure that funds are made available to improve service delivery.
