Prime minister Elijah Ngurare has announced that the security cluster is in the process of recruiting 4 310 new members across the country.
He says the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) is currently recruiting 1 800 new members, while the Namibian Police graduated 1 782 recruits on 23 May.
The Namibia Correctional Service has already seen 278 graduates this year and is set to welcome an additional 450 recruits on 1 August, Ngurare says.
“In total, about 4 310 mainly young people are being recruited from all 14 regions,” Ngurare wrote on X on Wednesday.
He said president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is expected to sign the recently tabled national budget for 2025/26 this week.
“Job creation and service delivery will be central in this financial year. Now hard work,” Ngurare said.
