Laywers representing suspended manager Gad Kangueehi have challenged the legality of the Namibia Training Authority’s operations and expenditure due to the absence of a board.
The claims are contained in correspondence from Metlaw Attorneys & Notaries to the authority’s chief executive, Erick Nenghwanya, in which the law firm argues the authority has been operating in a “legal vacuum” since the expiry of its board’s term.
The lawyers say the Vocational Education and Training Act vests governance authority in the board and does not permit the chief executive, executive director or relevant ministry to assume the board’s functions.
“Whether the government and/or minister and/or executive director and/or chief executive likes it or not, a legal vacuum exists at the Namibia Training Authority,” attorney Richard Metcalfe says in the letter.
