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.

The ||Kharas Regional Council has condemned the naming of a 15,02-carat diamond, which was recently unveiled by Namdia, as Egumbo Star.

Council's Chairperson  Joseph Isaack said the naming of the diamond in the Oshiwambo language smacks of undermining the inhabitants of the region.
