News in short
STAFF REPORTER
The ministry of urban and rural development has finalised the national housing policy, which was presented and discussed in Cabinet yesterday, finance minister Ipumbu Shiimi said.

The policy outlines the overarching enabling framework for a focused, affordable and pragmatic approach to providing adequate housing opportunities for Namibians, especially low-income groups, he explained.

“Once approved, we will prioritise its implementation over the next [medium-term expenditure framework] to address the growing housing backlog countrywide,” he said during his mid-term budget speech in parliament.
