New engineering council to push engineering professions bill

The newly elected council of the Engineering Professions Association of Namibia has been tasked with supporting the finalisation and implementation of the new engineering profession bill.

Over the weekend, the association’s annual general meeting elected Sophia Belete-Tekie as its president. This was also the election of the association’s 44th council since it was established in 1981.

Belete-Tekie at the event said the new council will focus on strengthening the engineering profession, starting with the proposed law. “Our immediate priorities will include supporting the finalisation and implementation of the new engineering profession bill,” she said.
