City of Windhoek councillor Austin Kwenani has tabled a motion calling for a comprehensive audit of the municipality’s internal systems and operational processes following concerns over slow project implementation and poor budget execution.

The motion, submitted in terms of Rules 12 and 13 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Municipal Council of Windhoek, requests the office of the CEO to investigate whether internal administrative processes, procurement systems and operational procedures are hindering the implementation of Council-approved projects.

Kwenani’s proposal comes after concerns were raised during a special council meeting at which the city’s budget was approved. According to the motion, infrastructure development projects had achieved only about 11% budget execution by February 2026, prompting questions over the municipality’s capacity to implement approved programmes.
