Prime Minister Raises Concern Over Low Execution Rate of Government Procurement Plans
Prime Minister has raised concerns over the slow implementation of government procurement plans, warning that failure to execute planned activities within the financial year undermines the government’s responsibility to deliver development.
The Prime Minister made the remarks during an engagement with directors and deputy directors from various Offices, Ministries and Agencies (OMAs) at the Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management (NIPAM) today.
Addressing the officials, the Prime Minister emphasised that government performance should not be measured by the quality of plans and promises alone, but by the ability to turn those commitments into actual results.
The Prime Minister said the low execution rate of the Annual Procurement Plan (APP) remains a serious concern, stressing that political leadership had already been cautioned about the need to improve implementation.
“I have made it clear to the political leadership that we can use all the sophisticated language and make all the promises we want, but if we fail to execute the APP within the current financial year, we are failing to fulfil the mandate entrusted to us,” the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister further stressed that the responsibility of government officials goes beyond developing plans and discussing development priorities. Officials are expected to ensure that approved plans are implemented effectively and produce tangible benefits for the people.
The remarks highlight the importance of accountability, efficiency and timely execution in ensuring that government commitments translate into meaningful development.
