Youth, defence get new accounting officers
The ministries of youth and sport, and defence, have appointed new permanent secretaries effective 1 September.
Emma Kantema-Gaomas is the new permanent secretary at the ministry of youth, while Peter Vilho will take over from Petrus Shivute at the defence ministry.
Until his recent appointment, Vilho served as Navy commander and has been replaced by Rear Admiral Bamba Nghipandua.
The youth ministry has been without a permanent secretary since the retirement of Alfred Ilukena earlier this year.
Kantema-Gaomas, who at 39 is arguably the youngest permanent secretary in the public sector, is a former company secretary at the Social Security Commission (SSC).
She is also briefly served as acting SSC CEO in recent years.
She is a founding director of the Namibia Civil Aviation Authority, and she also served on the NIPAM Governing Council and the Namibia Institute of Corporate Governance.
She holds a Master of Business Administration degree, specialising in corporate governance and strategic management.
