Cash crunch stalls Eenhana town council office building

Delayed funding has halted the construction of the new N$119-million Eenhana Town Council office building, severely impacting local service delivery and staff working conditions. Eenhana chief executive Wodibo Haulofu revealed this yesterday. He said a total of N$9 million, excluding fees, is urgently required to complete the building’s finance wing, so that staff and customers can use it.

N$119 million is still needed to complete the entire project, he said. This follows the parliamentary standing committee on labour and industrial relations’ oversight visit last week, which chairperson Uahekua Herunga led. During the visit, Herunga asked why it was taking so long to complete the new building.
