Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare has called for urgent improvements to Rundu’s infrastructure, pointing out that the town’s facilities are struggling to keep pace with the demands of its growing population. During his official visit to the Kavango East regional capital, he toured key municipal services and reviewed ongoing development projects.

Addressing the Rundu Town Council, Prime Minister Ngurare stressed the importance of prioritising infrastructure upgrades, particularly the road network. He noted that Rundu, with over 100,000 residents, is the second-largest town in Namibia after Windhoek and requires modern, functional infrastructure to support its continued growth.

Expressing concern over delays in road projects across Kavango East, the Prime Minister stated that reports submitted to his office do not accurately reflect the reality on the ground. He instructed ministries, parastatals, and contractors to submit a detailed plan within two weeks to address these delays, emphasising that service delivery must meet the standards set by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah for accountability and efficiency.

On the issue of the ongoing water shortage affecting Rundu and surrounding communities, Prime Minister Ngurare welcomed the government’s initiative to drill 21 boreholes in the region. He described the project as a crucial step toward ensuring reliable water access for residents and improving living conditions in the area.

In addition to his visit to Rundu, Prime Minister Ngurare announced plans to conduct extended tours across all 121 constituencies in Namibia. These visits are intended to provide the government with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by local communities, allowing for more targeted and effective interventions.
