PM Ngurare calls for fairer government funding for local authorities

Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare has warned that inadequate government funding is setting local authorities up for failure, calling for equitable financial support across the country.
Speaking during a meeting with the Association of Local Authorities of Namibia, Dr Ngurare stressed that failing to provide sufficient subsidies lets down the communities who elected them. ALAN President and Ongwediva Mayor Naemi Amuthenu earlier raised mounting pressures, including unequal subsidies, severe utility debts owed to NamWater, unpaid pension obligations, and limited Road Fund Administration backing. Questioning the uneven distribution of resources, Dr Ngurare urged councillors to put political differences aside and clearly communicate their financial needs to government. The Prime Minister will meet with government directors and deputy directors today
