Nekundi grilled over Windhoek highway speed humps

The installation of speed humps on Windhoek’s Western Bypass highway has come under scrutiny, with Landless People’s Movement chief whip Dawid Eigub questioning whether engineering expertise was sidelined in favour of political directives.

In questions directed to works and transport minister Veikko Nekundi in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Eigub argued that infrastructure decisions should be guided by technical evidence and professional judgement rather than political considerations.

He said road users, engineers and transport professionals have raised concerns about the traffic-calming measures recently introduced on the freeway.
