Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) secretary Ephraim Nekongo yesterday blasted NamPower boss Simson Haulofu for “disobeying a Cabinet directive” that called on the state-owned enterprise to halt power cuts in the north and south of the country and called for his resignation.
This comes as Haulofu yesterday defended the company’s suspension of electricity supply to defaulting customers on Monday evening.
This was implemented despite the Cabinet instructing NamPower to put its plans on hold.
“The board at NamPower must listen to the leadership,” Nekongo said.
“Whoever is at NamPower, the minister must be able to discipline these people.
“He [Haulofu] is there appointed by the party. If Kahenge [Haulofu] needs to go, he must go. He cannot be directed and do other things. That’s uncalled for,” he said.
