Omaruru mayor, Eberth Gariseb, has issued a warning that excessive bureaucracy and political interference are crippling Namibia’s development pipeline, leaving communities waiting years for projects that could transform local economies.

In a media statement released this week, Gariseb delivered ta wcriticism of the administrative paralysis that continues to stall key initiatives, pointing specifically to the proposed Omaruru Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Centre as a prime example of good intentions lost in red tape.

Gariseb argued that while Namibia boasts enormous potential for growth, the reality on the ground is one of frustration and lost opportunities.
