Katjiuanjo takes Omaheke concerns to Parliament

Zebaldt Ngaruka GOBABIS – Kalahari constituency councillor and member of the National Council (NC), Zedekia Borry Katjiuanjo, says he will carry the expectations of the people of the Omaheke region at heart. Katjiuanjo made these remarks while delivering his maiden speech in the NC recently, adding that he would serve Omaheke and the entire country without fear or favour. “I commit myself to representing the Namibian people in the process of reviewing legislation from the National Assembly, and to ensuring that laws work towards effective and efficient service delivery for all, as mandated by the Namibian Constitution,” he said.

The Swapo councillor said the Omaheke region is home to resilient people who continue to face real challenges. Among the key concerns facing the region, Katjiuanjo highlighted youth unemployment, which stands at 30.3%, according to the regional leadership. He stressed that young people need skills, land and access to funding for income-generating projects in agriculture, biomass and other sectors to help address unemployment.
