Denga Ndaitwah says his wife placed oil and gas projects under her direct control to fight corruption. The first gentleman made these comments at Triumphant College when speaking to students in Windhoek. He explained that the sector attracts dishonest dealings because large amounts of money flow through it. Critics worry that President Nandi-Ndaitwah might lack time to manage these industries alongside her other duties properly. Some people wanted these important resources handled through regular government departments instead.
Mr. Ndaitwah addressed student concerns about the unusual arrangement during the workshop session. He believes keeping petroleum matters close helps prevent wrongdoing that happens in other countries. The president faces questions about centralizing power over national resources within her office. The decision surprised many political observers who expected traditional oversight through established ministries. OneAfrica TV first reported these statements, which have sparked debate across the country about presidential authority limits.
