City vacancies risk service delivery
NEWS IN SHORT
Windhoek mayor Joseph Uapingene has highlighted the urgent need to fill vacancies to ensure service delivery.
"We can no longer continue in a vacuum of unfilled critical vacancies within the ever-growing demands for service. We must be deliberate in our efforts to balance the ratio of public servants to residents, and this means taking firm decisions to appoint the right candidates," Uapingene told council last Thursday.
Uapingene underlined the council's responsibility to ensure service delivery and said it would risk criticism in order to reach this goal.
"It is unfortunate that some staff appointments and recruitment processes preceded our time in office; however, as leaders, we are under scrutiny to take decisions that may be unpopular with some," he said.
City employees were also urged to support the newly appointed CEO, Moses Matyayi, who assumes his role in August.
