NCCI’s Cecilia Kamati calls for protection of entrepreneurs

Staff Reporter

ENTREPRENEURS are the economic soldiers of our nation. They create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and support countless families, said Cecilia Kamati, Chairperson of the Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Oshikuku Branch and Deputy Mayor of Oshikuku Town in the Omusati Region.

Kamati issued a press release Thursday lamenting that many business owners currently face significant challenges, including financial constraints, economic uncertainty, and increasing attacks on their reputations through social media platforms.

“Many successful entrepreneurs find themselves subjected to unfounded allegations and public criticism without adequate legal or institutional protection. This does not only damage individual businesses but also discourages investment, innovation, and entrepreneurship,” she said.
