The ministry of agriculture, fisheries, water and land reform spokesperson Romeo Muyunda has said that it is not responsible for deciding which schools receive boreholes, saying the selection of beneficiary schools and priority areas rests solely with the ministry of education, innovation, youth, sport, arts and culture (MEIYSAC).

He was responding to questions from the Windhoek Observer on whether schools already connected to water supply systems would also be equipped with boreholes where necessary, and which regions would be prioritised under the programme.
