No appointments made for Namibia Air yet – ministry

The Ministry of Works and Transport says no leadership appointments have been made for the planned national airline, Namibia Air, dismissing reports linking individuals to top positions.

The ministry’s response follows on a statement on Thursday by Independent Patriots for Change parliamentarian Nelson Kalangula, who accused the government of rewarding public officials implicated in governance failures by reappointing them to senior positions instead of holding them accountable.

Kalangula said the continued appointment of officials linked to misconduct, negligence or financial irregularities undermines public confidence and weakens governance.
