Meatco board is settling personal scores – Nudo
STAFF REPORTER
Nudo has criticised the suspension of Meatco CEO Vekuii Rukoro, claiming the board was being used to settle personal scores.
Rukoro was placed on administrative leave last week pending an internal investigation. The company’s chief financial officer, Ingo Schneider, will act as CEO in the interim.
“We are of the opinion that this suspension is a result of some board members having personal scores to settle with Advocate Vekuii Rukoro and their inflated egos refuse to see beyond that, as their mission is to get rid of Rukoro irrespective of the harm that will befall the company,” said Nudo’s presidential spokesperson, Joseph Kauandenge.
“It is regrettable that some board members suffer from amnesia as they have conveniently forgotten too quickly in what shape and form Meatco was before Rukoro was appointed as CEO. When he took over he completely transformed Meatco into a flourishing entity.”
Nudo yesterday said it was Rukoro who had initiated the empowerment programme for farmers in the North, which has since become popular. The party also said that the Meatco quota for meat exports to Norway had been increased under Rukoro.
“Meatco became the first African country to qualify for beef exports to China and America, still under his management. Still under his management Meatco became the first abattoir to introduce a mobile slaughter unit (MSU) to the Northern Communal areas (NCAs) and under his leadership Meatco beef exports for the 2015/2016 financial year were N$1.285 billion.”
Board chairperson Martha Namundjebo-Tilahun last week told Namibian Sun that there was nothing untoward regarding the suspension of the company’s CEO.
