Opuwo Rural Constituency Councillor Western Muharukua requested intervention from Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila regarding the ongoing dispute between the Kunene Regional Council and the Minister of Urban and Rural Development.

Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, who visited the region, engaged with the regional leadership to hear their concerns, challenges, and access to public service.

The Prime Minister also visited Omhalapapa deep borehole in the Omundaungilo Constituency, where villagers have access to clean drinking water.

The Omhalapapa deep borehole, which is solar-powered, was installed by the government two years ago at a cost of N$2.5 million, and it is now providing clean water to seven water points in the Omundaungilo constituency.

Villagers, however, want the government to put up a high tower or a bigger reservoir at the borehole so that water can reach some areas where water moves at a slow pace due to low pressure.

Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa Amadhila is in the Ohangwena Region to assess the delivery of public services to the community.

In Eenhana, she was briefed about water shortages in some villages in the region, as well as matters relating to sanitation, education, health, information and communication technology, and poor road infrastructure.

Discussions centred around the provision of water to villages with serious shortages.

Prime Minister, Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, held a closed-door meeting with representatives of the Zambezi Regional Council, the Katima Mulilo Town Council and the Bukalo Village Council at Katima Mulilo on Friday.

Before the closed-door meeting, Zambezi Governor Alufea Sampofu briefed the Premier about the security situation in the region and the challenges facing the operations of the green schemes in the region.

State institutions nationwide are urged to enhance efficient service delivery to the people by setting deadlines on planned strategies and delivering on time.

Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila made this call during her address at the State Party Assessment Tool Pilot Program Workshop.

Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says that the public service is a state institution whose main objective is to plan, organise, and ensure control of the resources needed for effective public service delivery to the citizens.

Young people's involvement in the social, economic, and political spheres is the key to sustaining the nation's ongoing development journey.

This was stated by Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila at the official opening ceremony of the Association of Regional Councils' Extra-Ordinary Congress at Swakopmund. 

Housing provision, socioeconomic aspects and agriculture, amongst others, were at the top of the agenda of issues discussed during the engagement between the Omaheke regional leadership, various heads of departments and Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila at Gobabis.

Omaheke Regional Governor Pijoo Nganate welcomed the initiative taken by the Prime Minister to engage the regional heads and provide updates on issues relating to development.
