Municipality to Investigate

Continued from page 1

Mr Metcalfe noted that investigations are ongoing into the contract awarded to RedForce and the tender process, documentation, contracts and schedules of the agreement, while civil and criminal proceedings willcontinueifthere isevidenceofimpropriety Thestatement furthersaystheWalvisBayTownCouncil unanimously decided to terminate the services of RedForceDebtManagementCCon23April.

Mr Metcalfe stated that any termination of RedForce Debt Management CC's serviceswilltakethe form of an advisory services agreement with the municipality Red Force issuedapublicstatementonTuesdaythe week,statingthatall accounts handed over for collection willremainwithRed Force until they are settled in full. The statement further reveals all its opera-

tions have resumed following the High Court order, which stops the municipality from continuing to implement the decision to terminate the contract.

In the meantime, The Affirmative Repositioning Movement (AR) demanded in a lettertotheministryof Urban and Rural Development that the ministry immediately order the suspension ofallactivitiesbyRed Force in Walvis Bay and conduct a thorough investigation to hold the responsible individuals within the Municipality accountable through severe punishment.

AR alleged in a letter that Red Force was granted a contract surpassingthelegalthreshold for local authorities without involving the Procurement Board. They further saidthattheprocessis further concerning because a co-founder of RedForcewasalsothe Manager of Revenue and Credit Control

within the same Walvis Bay Municipality that dubiously awarded the contract raising severe concerns regarding potential conflictsofinterestand possible indications of corruption, collusion, cronyismornepotism. AR urge the ministry that all review mechanisms provided under thePublicProcurement Act be activated and that the cancellation of the agreement be rigorously applied in line with Section 63 of the Public Procurement Act,ensuringfulltransparency and disclosure to the public. AR also advocates for a complete audit of the Walvis Bay Municipality's procurement practices, particularlyforprojects exceeding the Local Authorities' threshold, to prevent such egregious oversight from recurring.Shouldthese investigations confirm any instances of legal violations or ethical misconduct, restitution and possibly punitive measures should be imposed.

Alternative Medicine Always Available at Public Health Facilities

ChiefMedicalOfficerfortheMinistryofHealthandSocial Services in the Erongo region, Dr Leonard Kabongo has advised patients to always ask for alternative medication whenevertheyareinformedthattheirmedicationisoutof stockatstatepharmacies/publichealthfacilities.

Kabongo said public health facilities receive medication and clinical supplies stock once a month, and sometimes when they see that they have ordered less than what they need, theymakeaninterim order and get stock withinaweekortwo.

Kabongo said, “alternatives are always available while we are waiting for an interim order to arrive.” This was in response to complaints by members of the public regarding the availability of medication at the public health f a c i l i t i e s i n Swakopmund A

Last time I had the same problem and I had to go buy from the private pharmacies, this time again Now my question is, what happens to those who cannot afford to even putbreadonthetable, how will they afford medication at the private pharmacy?” According to him, patients are told to go buy medication at private pharmacies because there is no stock at the clinics or

state hospitals. “Once yougotothepharmacy and you are told that thereisnostockforthe medication you are normally using, you should go back to the doctor that attended to you and ask for an alternative medicine while you are waiting for stock to arrive,” saidKabongo.Patients arealsoadvisedtolaya formal complaint should they not be satisfied with the servicestheyreceiveor themedicationtheyare administered.

Attention Shifts to Walvis Basin

This move follows the diminishing opportunities in the Orange basin, where majorslikeChevron, TotalEnergies, and Shell have been active. Now, attention is shifting to the potential of the Walvisbasin,withChevron making the first move, signaling a potential battleground for industry giants.

Namibia's oil potential has drawn comparisonstoGuyana, where significant discoveries have led to an economic boom and attracted major com-

panies. Patrick Pouyanne,CEOofTotalEnergies, highlighted the substantial oil reserves in Namibian waters, echoing sentiments from other industry leaders TotalEnergies, alongside Shell and Galp Energia, has made significant finds off Namibia's southwest coast, setting the stage for potential economic transformation similar to what occurred in Guyana. While no field has yet been approved for development, TotalEnergies aims

tomoveforwardwith its Venus pro-ject, targeting pro-duction of up to 180 000 barrels per day

However, Pouyanne acknowledges the complexities of managing multiple projects led by different operators compared to the centralised development led by ExxoninGuyana. Community participation and empowerment are becoming integral to Namibia's oil industry Sintana Energy'srecentacquisition in the Orange Basin, facilitated by the Knowledge Katti Foundation, demon-

s t r a t e s a commitmenttolocal involvement The acquisitioninclu-des contributions to a community trust, setting a precedent for shared participation and benefit fromoilandgasprojects. Sintana Energy'spartnershipwith QuantumXploration and engagement with Namibia's national oil company NAMCOR further emphasise the importance of local engagement in driving industry development.
