Newly appointed Ohangwena governor Sebastian Ndeitunga has warned his staff members against infighting, and said they should work towards proper service delivery.
“I know there are people who have PhDs in infighting. If I was the head of that university where they acquired those degrees, I would have withdrawn them,” he says.
“We have to either unite and become victorious, or we start or continue fighting among ourselves and fall like fools.”
Ndeitunga says the regional leadership must put national interest ahead of personal interest.
“We have to make sure we work together, understand one another, and criticise where we can, but keep a positive attitude. No tribalism, regionalism, sexism and all these big ‘isms’ . . . We should put them aside,” he says.
“Problems will only be solved by a united, cohesive, coordinated and disciplined team – a team that understands the basic interests of the people of this region. All of you have identified where these challenges are.
“I just want to see challenge number one, priority number one, and how we are going to address it, what we can do to make sure these government programmes that have already been decided on are implemented,” Ndeitunga says.
