ChiefExecutiveOfficer,theLocalAuthoritiesAct gives the Management Committee powers to appoint "a staff member" as an Acting Chief ExecutiveOfficer “Itisimportanttomentionthat a resolution is taken after a submission with a recommendation is submitted to Council for consideration. In November 2023 a submission was made to Council, to confer powers upon Heads of Department to allow them to execute day-to-day duties and responsibilities amongst others, under various legislation, such as the Public Procurement Act, 2015, or certain provisions of the LocalAuthoritiesAct, 1992, as wellasspecificCouncilRegulationsandpolicies where powers are specifically legislated to the ChiefExecutiveOfficer.”
The statement further reads that the resolution which has led to question the validity of David Uushona's appointment was taken on 27 November2023:
“Council resolve that all powers, duties, and responsibilities that are legislated for the chief executive officer to execute, be conferred upon HeadofDepartmentswho,inthenormalcourseof business, is appointed to act in a temporary capacity for a specified short period of time or event in the stead of the Chief Executive Officer

“Although the former legal representative, Adv Richard Metcalf from Metcalf BeukesAttorneys

The Karibib Town Council came up with the idea to establish the first ever mayoral fund, aimed at responding to the various needs of the community
President Nangolo Mbumba, who was represented by the MinisterofFisheries and Marine Resources, Derek Klazen, said that the town of Karibib has grown over the years as peoplecomefromall

He wentonbysaying,"the absence of such support services may result in individuals and families facing various challenges, including financial hardships, food insecurity, a lack of housing, and many others.
Initiatives such as this one play an instrumental role in providing much-needed support.Itisjustifiable that companies, businesses, and institutionsthatareoperating inKaribiborproviding services are benefiting from such growth and population growth through corporate social responsibility," he added.

Galp Energy Moves Ahead with Namibia Drilling Despite New Partner
PortugueseenergygiantGalpEnergyremainssteadfastinitsplanstodrillthefirstwellin its upcoming four-probe exploration and appraisal campaign at the Mopane discovery offshoreNamibia.Despiteongoingdiscussionswithpotentialnewpartners,thecompany insiststhattheinitialtargetwillremainunchanged.
The Lisbon-based company aims to kick off the four-well program by late 2024, with their attention on understanding the scale of Mopane, its geological structure, and the nature of the three reservoirs found in Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL) 83.
"In Namibia, Galp partnered with NAMCOR and Custos to successfully complete the first phase of the Mopane exploration campaign in April 2024," said Galp CEO Filipe Silva "This phase encompassed the drilling of two
exploration wells and theexecutionofadrill stem test." The data collected from this phase will undergo thorough analysis and be integrated into a comprehensive reservoir model. Silva said that this model will serveasacriticalfoundation for refining Galp's near-term drilling plan to further explore, appraise, and develop the extensive Mopanecomplex.The company's ambitious plans for Namibia include a three-year exploration campaign that involves drilling ten exploration and appraisal wells, con-
ducting flow testing, performing a 3D towed streamer seismic survey over approximately 4 000 square kilometres within PEL 83, and acquiring additional 3D seismic data using the Ocean Bottom Nodetechnique. Despitethesignificant interest from supermajors and other entities eager to secure a major slice of Galp's 80% stake in the Orange basin discovery, which could house in-place resources of at least 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent, the company maintains con-
trol over its exploration strategy Silva noted that while new partners might influence the targets of later wells, they will not alter the objective of the first well Months ahead of the globalCOP29climate conference, which willhighlighttheneed to reduce fossil fuel dependency, Galp's announcement of its Namibian drilling plans highlights the complex balancing act between energy exploration and environmental concerns. The company's profit rose by 23% year-on-year in the firsthalfofthisyearto €624 million. Galp's continued focus on Namibia comes as specialist online publication Upstream reports that the company's discovery in theregionhasprompted a reassessment of its decarbonisation targets However, Silva remained tightlipped about specific future investments, stating that guidance on capital expenditures will be revealed in the coming months. The Namibian government and local stakeholders will closely monitor these developments, given the potential economic benefits and environmental impacts.
