President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has given state-owned enterprises (SOEs) 24 months to identify strategic investment projects ready for implementation, promising to disrupt government systems where necessary to remove barriers preventing institutions from delivering for Namibians.

The President made the remarks on Thursday during the inaugural Public Enterprises Chief Executive Officers (CEO) Breakfast Dialogue which was held at the Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management (NIPAM), where she challenged public enterprises to move beyond discussions and translate plans into measurable economic outcomes.

“I said that I am going to be a disruptive President. I will disrupt for the sake of the Namibian people. I will disrupt,” Nandi-Ndaitwah said.

She instructed each public enterprise to identify one strategic investment project that can be implemented within the next 24 months, as well as a specific reform that would unlock its ability to contribute to economic growth.
