Outgoing Cabinet to ‘roll up its sleeves’
NEWS IN SHORT
Nearly two months after its last sitting, Cabinet reconvened yesterday and vowed to continue making decisions for the next six weeks until its term ends on 21 March.
President Nangolo Mbumba said Cabinet held 22 decision-making sessions last year, resulting in 320 decisions.
Mbumba said last year, Cabinet approved 229 political initiatives, 32 administrative matters, 42 legislative proposals and 17 laws.
"As we approach the end of this Cabinet's term, these should not just be numbers. Our decisions should translate into a better quality of life for Namibians. Cabinet decisions should also drive economic growth," Mbumba emphasised.
"After all the hard work you put in throughout 2024, I am confident that you have returned to your respective offices, ministries and agencies with renewed enthusiasm and commitment to complete the work we started on March 21, 2015, under president Hage Geingob’s leadership."
Cabinet should spare no effort to ensure all dossiers, programmes and activities that can be completed before 20 March are finalised.
"As we wrap up our work in the coming weeks, I am optimistic about the economic prospects ahead, primarily driven by mining, oil and gas, critical raw materials and green hydrogen," the outgoing president said.
"Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work before the inauguration of the new government on 21 March 21," he urged.
