Namibian Prime Minister Ngurare told government directors they must think differently about handling projects. He spoke to officials Wednesday, saying theories matter, but actions need practical focus. Bureaucratic nonsense needs to stop because citizens deserve proper services. People aren't asking for special treatment—just fair access to what the government provides. Everyone deserves equal treatment regardless of connections.
Ngurare attacked the practice of giving jobs to friends instead of qualified applicants. He mentioned reports about positions being filled before interviews happen. The Prime Minister heard stories about tender awards decided before committee meetings. He asked directors to help stop these problems throughout society. Every Namibian from all regions should see themselves represented in government agencies.
Hard workers should receive rewards instead of those who practice corruption or favoritism. Leaders shouldn't just hire people from their village, tribe, or race. After recent changes, all departments must bring back public enterprises under their control. These enterprises must deliver services properly without creating huge salary differences compared to ministries. They should create jobs following national values of unity.
The Public Procurement Act needs changes because it shouldn't block service delivery. The law exists to improve people's lives through better government function. If parts of the law cause problems, they need immediate amendment. The government plans to close loopholes that allow corruption in the system. According to Ngurare, these bad practices destroy public trust in leadership.
